In this market, a lot of people are wondering, "Should I put an offer on a new listing?" When people ask this, they are mostly concerned about overpaying. However, I think you absolutely can make an offer on that new listing, and there are a few simple things you can do to make sure you get a good buy.

First of all, make sure you hire a local real estate expert. My team shows homes every day here in Rochester. We know the market trends, and what homes are selling for.


Second, make an offer based on market value. We can certainly help you with this. Ignore the list price - the seller might be hoping to get higher offers. Oftentimes, I see a home sell for 5% or 10% less, and then go to pending in two days. Your agent can help you make sure that you make a good offer.
