ready to buy but not enough homes out there
What happens when there is low inventory?
When there is no inventory in the housing market, it can be challenging to find and buy a house. Here are three tips to help you navigate the process:
1. Be flexible with your requirements: When there is limited inventory, it's essential to be open-minded about what you're looking for in a house. Consider compromising on some of your "must-haves" if it means finding a suitable home. You may have to adjust your expectations in terms of location, square footage, or the number of bedrooms or bathrooms.
2. Act quickly: In a competitive housing market, time is of the essence. Be prepared to act quickly when you find a house that meets your requirements. Work with a real estate agent who can alert you to new listings as soon as they become available, and be ready to view the property and make an offer as soon as possible.
3. Consider unconventional options: When there's no inventory in the housing market, it's worth considering unconventional options such as buying a fixer-upper or a home that's not currently on the market. You can also try reaching out to homeowners in neighborhoods you like to see if they're considering selling their home. Working with a real estate agent who has strong connections in the community can also help you find off-market properties.
