The nation is experiencing record low inventory of homes, especially market rate listings; the resulting competition for these homes is reaching fever pitch. Buyers, feeling pressure, try brave (and sometimes dangerous) ways to outbid their competitors: pre-emptive bids, zero contingency bids, and the plain old over-bid.  It can all get a bit crazy

Ah, Memorial Day weekend – the unofficial start of summer, backyard barbecues, and wearing white. We’ve rounded up five projects to make your weekend a success.

If you’re heading toward a coast this weekend, try setting up this awesome beach party tent – most of what you need, you can find right on the beach! Plus, you can make this in your backyard for kids.

We’ve written a whole bunch of posts recently that address the inventory shortages nationwide and the return of bidding wars to the most desirable housing markets. If you are looking to buy in one of these especially competitive neighborhoods, it’s all the more important that you’re ready to act when you find a home you love, and act quickly.

Over the last two years we’ve been talking to home buyers and sellers from all across the country, learning about what we can do to make your home buying or selling experience the absolute best, from search to close. Not only have these conversations been really fun, but they’ve also been incredibly valuable. Thanks for chatting with us and sharing all your insights! We’re looking forward to keeping the conversation going.
