Hellobee Boards

@littlebit7 walled you!

I’m in WNY in a small, popular town where houses in our price range often sell the day of the open house or before they officially go on the market (so all you see is a “Sold” sign because the realtors showed it before the”For Sale” sign went up). Houses that are priced right and on certain streets sell right away so people unfamiliar with the market get pushed out because they think they can wait a day or two to go see it. We were one of multiple bids on our house . We sat down with our realtor immediately after seeing the house so we could put the offer in right away (the other bidders did the same) and heard back the same night. I want to say time from offer to close was just over 60 days which is standard inNY state from what I gather. We learned from buying our first home not to think of the house as yours until you close because of the bank end. We bought in the winter which was good for us. The May-September is the busy time here and houses go flying. Our first home was a much longer process and we ended up buying in a less sought after neighborhood (we were looking in a city along with a lot of other first time home buyers and bought on the outskirts because we were priced out). Offer to close was more like 90 days (offered sometime in early March, moved in mid June).
