There is a property with 94 offers in Sacramento, and that\u2019s not a typo. Let\u2019s talk about this situation and how many offers most homes are getting. The housing market is actually getting tighter right now, and I want to share some stats to show what I mean.<\/p>\n

FEELING THOSE SPRING VIBES<\/p>\n

What it looks like in real estate when there is any hint of positive news. Haha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GETTING 94 OFFERS IS TRULY WILD<\/p>\n

A property was listed at $199,000, and it attracted 94 offers per MLS data (yes, our MLS has the number of offers). The agent who listed the property has been around a long time, and she\u2019s great. All I\u2019m saying is this home was strategically underpriced, and buyers showed up for it. The red dot shows the list price while the blue dots are similar-sized neighborhood homes. Can you see why it garnered so much interest?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

HOW MANY OFFERS ARE HOMES GETTING?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in a market where getting one or two offers is the vibe. Or zero if you\u2019re overpriced. Per MLS, 77% of current pendings in the Sacramento region have one or two offers, and only 7.5% of the market is getting five or more. So, 94 is nothing short of extreme. I remember in 2021 when a property in Citrus Heights had 121 offers, and that story went viral. So far, today\u2019s situation hasn\u2019t made the news as far as I can tell, but maybe it\u2019ll show up soon since it\u2019s a conversation piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pro tip. Don\u2019t expect to get 94 offers. Haha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT FIXERS THOUGH<\/p>\n

This 94-offer example is indicative of a price strategy rather than the market being so hot. Yet, there is no mistaking there is a massive appetite for low-priced fixers (the subject was a fixer). In fact, 86% of properties with ten or more offers in the region right now are priced under $500,000 (likely underpriced under $500K).\u00a0<\/p>\n

MORE COMPETITION AT LOWER PRICES<\/p>\n

The market isn\u2019t the same at every price range. Do you see how there are more offers at lower prices and not as many at the highest? This is a normal dynamic, but it\u2019s fascinating to see visually. I think this underscores how freakish it is to see 20 or more offers also.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BAR CHARTS IN CASE YOU HATE TABLES<\/p>\n

Here are a couple bar charts in case the table above isn\u2019t cutting the mustard. Are you team table or team bar chart? I go back and forth and have a hard time choosing. I love all my children equally. I think the first bar chart is easier to digest though.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THE HOUSING MARKET HAS BEEN GETTING TIGHTER<\/p>\n

Look, the housing market is not ultra hot like 2021, but it is more competitive than one year ago technically. Locally, we\u2019re seeing demand grow slightly more than supply, and I think it feels hotter next to the dull summer market last year too. Market competition levels are now very similar to the pre-2020 norm after having been softer for so much of last year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I suspect some might read my post and expect heavy competition, but that\u2019s not what I\u2019m saying. There is definitely solid competition for well-priced homes, but there are many homes lingering. Buyers are very picky today about price, condition, and location, and I think some sellers are still underestimating that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, CHECK OUT THESE GRAPHS<\/p>\n

The red line represents the pre-2020 norm, and last year a gap really started to grow as the market softened. Well, the gap is now closing since supply and demand have come closer together this year (black line). Does this mean the market is totally normal? Nope. All I\u2019m saying is competition has changed, and February stats now have tightened to a very normal level. It\u2019s important to note competition levels are on par with the norm too. Nothing freakish. Let\u2019s continue to watch this emerging trend and stay grounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

UNCERTAINTY MATTERS (IRAN)<\/p>\n

Someone asked me to describe the housing market, and I mentioned some of the spring vibes we\u2019re seeing, but I also said a week ago we didn\u2019t even know about conflict with Iran. This reminds us unexpected things can happen, and sometimes there is an effect on buyers and sellers (or the direction of rates). Granted, I don\u2019t think we can say military action has affected the housing market yet, so let\u2019s avoid clickbait, but this is something to continue to watch \u2013 especially if it ends up being prolonged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is how I view the housing market. It\u2019s not just about what happens with rates. Consumers care about the job market, economy, and uncertainty is a really big deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway, I hope that was helpful. Thanks for being here.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Questions: Can you imagine getting 94 offers? What are you seeing in the market right now? Anything to add?<\/p>\n
