It’s easy to feel stuck right now. Rates are up. Inventory is low. And every headline makes it sound like homeownership is out of reach.
But I’m seeing the opposite happen — because the most successful buyers in today’s market have two things in common:
They’re strategic.
They’re prepared.
We had three offers accepted this past week — not because the buyers outbid everyone, but because their financing was already fully underwritten, with fast-close timelines that gave sellers total confidence.
Meanwhile, other buyers with higher offers lost out… because their approvals were loose and their timelines were fuzzy.
The market isn’t just looking for strong offers. It’s looking for certainty.
This isn’t about waiting for the lowest rate — it’s about putting yourself in the strongest position right now.
If you want to find out what that would look like in your specific situation, I’d be happy to run the numbers and map it out with you. Let’s talk strategy — not stress.
