Prices a low in the housing market but there is a TON of competition and things are selling above their list price and most have multiplle offers on them. Bid high and put in multiple offers - making sure you stipulate that you are making multiple offers when you send in your offer.
My friend has been trying to buy a place for about 6 months now and is having a terrible time. She's been outbid many, many times. FHA has also been a stickler on their requirements.
Make SURE your Realtor is experienced and has been in the business a long time. Sometimes knowing the selling agent makes a WORLD of difference. This is NOT the market that is friendly for a new Realtor.
