This has been a competitive season for the industry as a whole \u2014&nbsp;and the Ann Arbor area is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you navigate the Ann Arbor real estate market, we\u2019re sharing a few tips for remaining competitive while you search for your dream home.

Any of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/agents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reinhart\u2019s agents<\/a> can help you navigate every step, from the initial home search to signing papers on closing day.

Get familiar with the Ann Arbor market by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/open-houses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">going to open houses<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/search\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taking a look at the current inventory<\/a>, and brainstorming the types of homes you are interested in. That way, when the perfect home hits the market, you\u2019ll know it\u2019s the one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the home buying process, especially if this is your first time buying a home. Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buyer\u2019s Guide<\/a> to understand the typical order of events, from pre-approval to closing day.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Pre-Approved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll want to get pre-approved for a mortgage loan before you begin your home search, which means a mortgage professional will review your financial situation and verify your income and debt status. Once you&#8217;ve completed the pre-approval process, the mortgage professional will let you know how much house you can afford to buy based on the loan amount for which you qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reinhart&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnadamsmortgage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Adams Mortgage<\/a> is a one-stop source for home financing.

We have competitive interest rates and fees and a selection of lenders and products, which allow us to get you the best priced product for your needs. We are based in Michigan and our local processing minimizes the time spent during the process. To a seller, having a lender&#8217;s pre-approval letter is an advantage over non-approved buyers. If a seller knows your financing is secure, your offer is stronger. Pre-approval also gives you peace of mind as you shop for a home, knowing that you will qualify for the proper mortgage amount.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Reinhart Account + Use the Mobile App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.reinhartrealtors.localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Account.jpg\" alt=\"Ways to Be Competitive in Ann Arbor Real Estate Market\" class=\"wp-image-89679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/felicefergel.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Account.jpg 850w, https:\/\/felicefergel.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Account-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/felicefergel.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Account-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In a competitive real estate environment, homes can sometimes go under contract in a matter of hours \u2014&nbsp;so you\u2019ll want to be the first to know when a home hits the market. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/account\/login_form\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create an account with Reinhart<\/a> to begin monitoring the local market. You can see new homes as they become available, get information on recently sold properties, save your favorite properties and searches to view again later, share listings with your agent or friends and family, and more. Our listings are updated within minutes of a home hitting the market, so you won&#8217;t miss out on your dream home. You&#8217;ll be the first to know when new properties become available based on your saved preferences in the communities you love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/mobile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the Reinhart mobile app<\/a>, available for iOS and Android devices, and discover a variety of different search options and filters, making it easier than ever to search for homes on the go.

That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to differentiate between your wants and needs \u2014&nbsp;so you know what is a deal breaker and what is simply a less-than-ideal situation. For example, you may <em>need<\/em> a spacious backyard for the kids and the dog to play in, while you may <em>want<\/em> an updated kitchen. So when you find a home with a huge backyard and an outdated kitchen, you\u2019ll know it\u2019s time to make an offer! After all, things like fixtures and paint colors can be updated down the road, but the lot size? Not so much.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Act Quickly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"565\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.reinhartrealtors.localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Quickly2.jpg\" alt=\"Ways to Be Competitive in Ann Arbor Real Estate Market\" class=\"wp-image-89682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/felicefergel.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Quickly2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/felicefergel.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Quickly2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/felicefergel.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Quickly2-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, speed is the name of the game in a competitive market. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll need to be prepared to make decisions at the drop of a hat. But don\u2019t worry \u2014&nbsp;your agent will do much of the heavy lifting for you throughout the search process. And they will put together the proper paperwork and help you come up with a reasonable offer. All you have to do is be ready to view homes, make a quick decision, and sign your name on the dotted line!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Yourself Stand Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a pile of enticing offers, you\u2019ll want to do everything in your power to stand out from the crowd. This could include financial incentives to make the seller\u2019s jaw drop \u2014&nbsp;like covering their closing costs, offering well above asking price, or making a larger earnest deposit. Or you might offer a longer closing or inspection period. Who knows? These details might just be what seals the deal!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remain Flexible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"548\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.reinhartrealtors.localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Flexible.jpg\" alt=\"Ways to Be Competitive in Ann Arbor Real Estate Market\" class=\"wp-image-89680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/felicefergel.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Flexible.jpg 850w, https:\/\/felicefergel.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Flexible-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/felicefergel.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Flexible-768x495.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The more flexible and accommodating you can be, the better. You might have your agent reach out to the selling agent to see if there is anything that will convince the seller. They may desire a longer closing period so they can find their next home, or they might want to skip the process of repainting the interior or making other repairs, as previously planned. Your flexibility and willingness to meet in the middle can significantly ease the mind of the seller!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Patient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, your very first offer may not be accepted. In fact, it\u2019s likely that it won\u2019t! That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to be patient, trust the process, and keep moving forward. Take solace in the fact that there <em>is<\/em> a home out there for you \u2014&nbsp;and when you finally move in, you\u2019ll feel an incredible sense of relief and excitement. And all that hard work and the rollercoaster of emotions you went on will have been worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1971, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reinhart Realtors<\/a> has been the leading full-service real estate firm in the Ann Arbor region.
