Now you're ready to make an offer. So many things to think about. One of the biggest thing to think about is how much should you offer?

In order to determine that, we have to do our homework. Your agent will prepare a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) to show you what other buyers have paid for similar homes in the same area and in the recent past.

You'll probably want to pull the county records to see how much the seller paid for their home and when they purchased it - although how much someone paid for a home should not really affect what the value of the home is. But it might give you an idea of what is happening with the seller and why they are selling.

You'll want your realtor to talk to the listing agent to find out if there are any other offers AND to find out what might be most attractive to the sellers. For instance, the sellers may not have their new home picked out already and would really like to have a Post Closing Occupancy Agreement for 30 days - in other words, the buyer would allow the sellers to stay in that home for 30 days after the buyer purchases the home. That would prevent the sellers from making two moves - one to a temporary place and one to their next permanent home. That might be attractive enough to the sellers to tip your offer into the winning category.

If there are other offers on the table - in our current sellers market it is very common for the home to have multiple offers on it - you might want to position yourself to beat other offers. I have a secret clause that I use for my buyers who just have to have this home, but they do not want to overpay.
