Should I Pay Over Asking Price For My New Home Purchase?

 These days it seems like every home seller is getting more for selling their home than the amount they listed it.

If you’re buying a home in today's market, one thing is for sure. You’re dealing with multiple offer situations, and more than likely, if your offer is accepted, it’s because you’re offering more than the home list price.

Two days ago, one of our real estate friends listed a home that sold for 200k over list price. 

The question lots of clients have is:

Should I Pay Over Asking Price For My New Home Purchase? 

My response every time is:

How long do you plan on living in the home? 

If you’re selling the home in 1-2 years, I won’t pay 200k over the list price, but if you’re in it for the long haul and see yourself in the home for 5,7, or 10 years.

Yes, you may want to consider paying over the list price in order to get your offer accepted.
