The limited housing supply has resulted in increased competition among buyers and higher prices. 

We help hundreds of first time or experienced buyers find great deals in local markets around Allentown and beyond.

A few years ago sellers weren't accepting offers with financing because there were so many cash buyers. 

I’ve come across details regarding the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act, and it seems there are exceptions for buyers with a valid work permit or for properties outside Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) or Census Agglomerations (CA).Do you know if certain types of work permits are more favorable for this purpose?

And the buyers took out a 30 year mortgage to pay it off (hopefully before 1990).

As General Partners (GPs), we juggle a lot—talking with vendors, negotiating with buyers and sellers, and ensuring the deal stays on track.

Not sure on your timeframe, but AZ is currently a buyers market (like I'm sure a most states are) due to a rise in inventory and interesest rates.

Only wasted time and many prospective buyers in the mean time.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

Quote from @Adrian Lammersdorf-Scioll: I'm helping a buyer right now that works int he hospital get 5% funded for them on a home, that may be something to look into, it's called hometown heroes here in Florida.
