This usually results in a bidding war between interested buyers achieving a higher selling price. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 29% of homes sold above asking price in 2021.
  • The overall inventory of homes for sale is low which is causing buyers to pose very competitive offers.
  • Homes are spending very little time on the market before being sold due to the heavy demand of the area.
  • Median listing and sale prices are rising into record-setting territory due to the competitive market.
