How should you navigate this market when multiple offers is the new norm?

It's tough with the hot seller's market. The inventory is low and lots of buyers are ready to make a move but I would say there are some tips to get ahead of the crowd:

• Know what you can afford, knowing your numbers is critical
• Be ready to move fast
• Make a strong but fair offer

At the end of the day, your agent is critical in getting what you want on this market. Go for referals and great reviews when it comes to choosing your agent. Good luck
