If you’re thinking of buying a home in the Sierra Foothills, you already know that the number of homes available for sale is low. But what does that really mean for you? As a buyer, low housing supply coupled with high buyer demand means you should be prepared to navigate a highly competitive market where homes sell fast and get multiple offers. Realtor.com has this to say:“Homes also flew off the market at record pace as buyers put offers in the moment properties came up for sale….”In a bidding war situation like this, doing everything you can to get ahead of the competition is a wise move.
