It seems that just when you think you have the real estate market figured out, it changes. Not so long ago many real estate agents were juggling short sales, but today in many areas they are now grappling with multiple offer situations.

Multiple offers are here to stay as inventory levels continue to decline due to the lack of new construction and the disappearance of short sales and foreclosures. Buyers and investors are coming out in droves buying up everything with a For Sale sign. And in response to this, smart real estate agents have brushed up on their multi-offer strategies to give their buyers the edge they need to win. Sometimes it is not just about the offer amount, and it is the real estate agents job to…

You bought a new home, and the list of projects that need to be done is bigger than your bank account. Or, the home you bought years ago is looking a little dated, and you don't have the money to hire someone to give it that much-needed face-lift.

Sixty-nine percent of consumers recently admitting to having a “home crush”—a property they liked so much they were drawn back to looking at it more than once online or in person, according to a new realtor.com® survey of 1,000 consumers. But men and women respond quite differently to these crushes, according to the survey.

For example, the survey found that women are more likely than men to have a crush on a home that was out of their financial league. Forty-one percent of women revealed their home crush is out of their price range, compared to only 30 percent of men who said the same.

Sammamish

It’s no wonder this picturesque Seattle suburb was able to snag the second spot on our list. Sammamish was named the 15th best place to live by “CNN Money” in 2011, and “Forbes” deemed it the friendliest town in America in 2012.

Sammamish landed on Neighborhood Scout’s list of Top 100 Safest Cities in the U.S. and proudly reported no murders and only one robbery in 2012. This city’s impressive safety record is certainly enhanced by community-based organizations like the Sammamish Citizen Corps, which is…
