Spring is peak home-buying season, meaning more competition for buyers. As a real estate professional, you need strategies to help your clients submit winning offers. Here are key insights and mortgage tips to help you guide buyers successfully.
Understanding Market Conditions:
- Rising Inventory vs. High Demand: While more homes hit the market in spring, demand often drives competition.
- Interest Rate Impacts: Lower rates fuel buyer demand, while higher rates can shift strategies.
