Buying homes has changed dramatically over the past year. Many buyers are purchasing homes hundreds of miles away and are buying homes virtually. Often, they only look at the pictures online and put in an offer because housing inventories are very low and homes are being purchased quickly.
Buyers are bidding now sight unseen and not stepping a foot inside the home. Travel restrictions and sellers who may not want a lot of people through their homes right now have made virtual buying more desirable for many.
Our Team is Your Best Resource
With virtual purchases, now more than ever you want to have a realtor that will be able to find a home that suits your needs. Our Anne Winch Real Estate Team can go through the home for you and check to see if perhaps the home is on a busy street or if it doesn’t suit your needs. Our Team will be your eyes, nose, and ears for the purchase of your home. You need the ultimate trust of your Team to find a home that will be perfect for you.
Buyers
Especially if you are purchasing from afar, you still get to tour the home before you put your offer in. If you find the home does not meet your needs, you can still walk away. Normal offers do offer many contingencies of inspections and financing. However, in a strong seller’s market, sellers often go for offers that are strong bids with few conditions, if any.
Sellers
Even though it is a strong seller’s market it does not mean you can skip cleaning and decluttering. Homes are bought and sold on how they look immediately in pictures and proper home staging. There are still home showings and when offers come in, your home still has to look like it did in your professional pictures online.
How Our Team Can Help:
- Virtual consultations to find out what type of home you want and your needs
- Send listings of homes that include virtual tours
