To say that the real estate industry has changed over the past year is a massive understatement, but we adapted. We’re ready to welcome buyers who are interested in Briarwood homes for sale!
It’s time to dust off those real estate aspirations that you put on hold last year, but things are different. This year presents challenges to buyers that weren’t there before the pandemic hit.
As you browse Briarwood homes for sale, we are here to help you navigate these new challenges. Here are four tips to take with you as you start your real estate adventure in 2021:
Make friends with the internet.
These days, most people begin their search for Briarwood homes for sale on the Web. Online listings have come a long way in the past year, and they are super-simple to navigate. Between professional photos, videography and virtual tours, you can practically make a buying decision without ever stepping inside the home!
Wear your negotiating hat.
If you are not willing to negotiate, you won’t make it very far in 2021’s real estate market. Don’t bargain yourself into a bad deal, but remember that a little flexibility will go a long way.
Be prepared to fight for the home you want.
In a typical year, bidding wars for Briarwood homes for sale happen frequently. In 2021, expect bidding wars to be the norm. As housing inventory ramps up and buyers come out of hibernation, there will be times that there are more people looking than people selling. Devise a bidding war strategy with your real estate agent before you start house-hunting so that you’re not caught off guard.
Cross your fingers for a low mortgage rate.
Interest rates are pretty low at the moment, and they are expected to stay that way. It’s still important to shop around for the best deal. A mortgage broker can help you compare rates from multiple lenders.
