We've talked a lot already about how competitive Bend and Eugene's markets are for buyers. Inventory is super low and getting lower, and prices are sky-high and getting higher. Even if you can afford a home here, you're most likely going to be in competition with at least a couple other buyers - and maybe ten, fifteen, twenty or even more.

So, what does it take to make an offer that's appealing to a seller? Offer price is a big part of it (no surprise there) but there are a multitude of other considerations. What process do you need to go through in order to be in a position to make a winning offer? What are the widgets that can push your offer over the top? And what kind of extra footwork can your agent do to help make sure the seller's agent is in your court?

This is a big discussion, so Kip and Ryan will cover all the bases over our next two episodes. When you're in a competitive offer situation, no detail is too small. Don't worry, though - we'll give you an overview of just about everything you need to consider.
