It is no secret that the Denver real estate market is incredibly tight. Low inventory and many buyers s a multiple offer, auction style situation is created. I could talk to you into I am blue in the face about the unique dilemma the Denver real estate market is in but I will not. This post will speak to the emotional side of this market; it is heartbreaking at times to be a buyer. Your real estate agent can set you up with perfect expectations – you WILL have to put in more than one offer, you WILL lose out on a home but once it happens, it still stings.
At times the market can be draining for all involved. The other afternoon I found myself feeling probably very similar to what buyers feel in this market – frustrated, hopeless and overwhelmed. I was on the phone with a family member who is going through some health issues, and after listening to me speak she said, “I understand the feeling of wanting to be somewhere that you are not at yet”. Well, yes, isn’t that really what is driving these emotions? In essence, we are all fighting this same battle whether with our health, career, home, family and/or relationships. The process is what causes the emotions.
So, here are six ways a person can cope with tough times, such as buying a home in the Denver market.
The current Denver market mandates a lot of work in order to get a home. It is crucial to be able to trust your real estate agent and know they are working with and FOR you. Always ask what other creative solutions that may have to find a home in a market like this one.
