In competitive housing markets across the country, making an offer that sticks has become increasingly difficult. Don't make the process even tougher by succumbing to one of these common mistakes.

Delaying

Time kills deals, you could wind up paying more in a bidding war situation or missing out on the property altogether.

Making an offer for their preapproved amount

Buyers come in with a preapproval for the exact offer price, but when you're competing against other offers, including cash offers, you want to have room to negotiate, you may no longer qualify if interest rates rise.

Submitting a lowball offer

A lowball offer can seem disrespectful and could turn off the seller and possibly mean you will miss out on the property.

Waiving inspection contingencies

Get it inspected, if you waive the inspection contingency you may lose the earnest money if you back out of the deal.

Not presenting yourself well enough

Buyers may see themselves at a disadvantage so take steps to make sure you look good in the eyes of the seller.
