One of the questions we hear all the time from homeowners is, “Should we wait until spring to sell?”The answer really depends on your situation. Spring is traditionally one of the

Everyone’s been asking, “How’s the market?” and heading into spring, we get why. Here’s a quick snapshot from just this past weekend:
- Marge submitted an offer in Manchester, NH — 20 offers
- Hillary submitted an offer in Pelham, NH — 12 offers
- Catherine connected with a listing agent in Wilmington, MA — 10 offers
Every one of these homes sold over asking, many with waived contingencies.
For buyers, we know this can feel discouraging. Writing offer after offer and not getting accepted is tough. That’s why we focus on helping our buyers stand out in smart, strategic ways. In competitive situations like these, creativity can make a big impact without breaking the bank. For example:
- Letting the seller leave behind unwanted items (a small cost like a dumpster can go a long way)
- Doing a pre-offer inspection to provide confidence and strengthen your offer.
And we don’t stop there, we’re not just relying on the same listings every else is chasing. We actively work to find off-market opportunities by sending personalized letters and postcards to homeowners who may be open to a smooth, private sale.
If you’re a buyer looking to get into the market and want a team that truly goes extra mile, we’d love to help.
For sellers, right now is an incredible time to sell. Homes are going over asking, and sellers are often choosing between 10, 12, even 20 offers. While it’s challenging for buyers, it creates a huge advantage for sellers.
With that kind of demand, you’re not just getting one offer, you’re getting options. That means stronger terms, flexible timelines, and the ability to choose the offer that truly works best for your situation, not just the highest price. Many sellers are seeing waived contingencies, buyer flexibility on closing dates, and even buyers covering unexpected costs.
This type of leverage doesn’t come around often. When inventory is low and competition is high, it puts you in the driver’s seat. If you’ve been thinking about selling, this is the kind of market where you can maximize your value and control the terms of your sale.
