How to WIN the Bidding War! Multiple Offers in Minnesota Housing!

2021 has been a year like no other in real estate here in Minnesota. The low interest rate & Coronavirus environment has fueled massive interest in housing. From Edina, MN to Blaine, MN there are bidding wars on just about every home that goes up for sale. Truthfully, I have personally seen multiple offers on properties ranging from 200K in Hugo up to 2.5 million in Edina. It almost seems like price doesn't matter. I'm here to tell you that it does.  If you are like other buyers in this Minneapolis/St Paul housing market, you pretty much know how hard it is to get your offers accepted. I have compiled a list of a few of the strategies we have used this past year to get offers accepted throughout the Twin Cities. This list is not just meant for first time buyers, we have used parts of these strategies for people paying with cash to those getting mortgages. We have also sold houses from Hudson, Wisconsin to Minnetonka, Minnesota this year! We have been all over the Twin Cities selling homes. From the Lakes of Radisson in Blaine to Lake Minnetonka we've been around!  Here are a few of my key points when negotiation a real estate offer in Minnesota. I decided not to "number" this list because these are all important and every buyer's situation is different. Here we go!  Pay cash whenever possible. If you really need a loan, but have the option of paying cash, consider getting a loan once you close on the property. (I could write a post just on this topic. Reach out to me for more info!) Put at least 20% down if and when possible. It matters! Sellers will definitely put you into a different category and that starts with "well qualified".  Buying a home has simply become "winning the auction". Have that mindset going into the entire process. What does NOT work in this market is "Well, let's just make a full price offer (or less) and see what happens." Our most recent home sale was at 3506 Coachman Road, Eagan, MN. We listed this home for $334,900 and it sold far above that price with 13 offers. I had an agent call me after the bidding selection and ask me how to get her client's offer accepted. Her clients offered $334,900, full price. For this home, it wasn't even close. (read my next bullet point)  Your agent MUST call the listing agent and ask for detailed information. What do you think negotiations is? It all starts with knowledge. Your agent should be calling the listing agent and asking for close date preferences, ideas on what is important to the sellers/ etc etc. Only 2 agents of the 13 that made offers for someone actually called me to discuss! That's right, only 2! That is not acceptable in my playbook. All of those buyers should be upset!  Go FAST! If a property comes on the market on Friday, go see it right away and put your offer in quickly! Sometimes sellers want to be done with having showings all weekend long. The offer that you put in during this type of situation must be a GREAT offer, one that the sellers love.  If you are qualified with FHA financing, you almost have no shot at getting your offer accepted. Guess what? There is hope for you. Consider working with a 3rd party such as Homepartners of America. With Homepartners, they will purchase the home for you and pay cash, then lease the home to you for 5 years. You can purchase the home from them at any time! They charge 5%, but who cares. You had a 0% chance of getting your offer accepted without them!  Honestly, our list stretches on and on, feel free to reach out to us and we will send you a PDF list of our entire collection of offer strategies!  I cannot stress the importance of working with a good agent. I know of a lot of great agents in our Minneapolis/St Paul housing market, and I also know of a lot of poor ones. Unfortunately, selecting a realtor has gone the way of voting for the King/Queen of homecoming, it is simply a popularity contest. Work with someone you trust. Work with someone who takes the job seriously, someone who shows up on time and is experienced. Work with someone who is hungry and will "fight" for you. Work with someone who is "TRAINED" in negotiations. Work with someone who will pick up the phone and advocate for you. Remember only 2 out of 13 agents actually called me in my most recent multiple offer situation. That is unacceptable!  We can help. My team is trained in real estate and trained in negotiations. I have personally gone through Harvard Business Schools Negotiation Mastery Program, and I listen and read books on negotiations quite frequently. My team also studies the market and will help determine if you are making a good business decision. We also know how to pick up the phone and we will figure out how to "WIN" for you.
