What is Buyer Fatigue?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are currently experiencing a hypercompetitive seller’s market with low inventory and many active buyers. This quickly spirals potential home-buyers into the frustrating realm of buyer fatigue. Buyer fatigue refers to buyers who have seen so many properties, written too many unsuccessful offers, and are flat out exhausted with the buying process. Searching for the dream home can be an exhaustive undertaking and when you are losing out time and time again you start to feel like you will never win a bid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Does This Fatigue Come From?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buyer fatigue sneaks up on house hunters that want to start slow and take their time feeling out a hot market. Possibly based on their family or friends’ advice, they may make a cautious initial offer on a home with the hopes of strengthening it if it’s rejected. Unfortunately, listening to someone who is not familiar with the market can lead you into disappointing territory. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When buyers are skeptical of market advice and don\u2019t capitalize on opportunities to write winning offers, they can waste crucial weeks, or even months, in a damaging cycle of submitting offers, getting rejected, modifying offers, getting rejected again, then starting all over with the next property. Listening to a knowledgeable Realtor can help you navigate through this process in a more efficient way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greater Vancouver housing market is extremely competitive. The current market value in most neighborhoods is quickly increasing and the sale price of each condo, townhouse, or single-family home sets the precedent for the next one in that neighborhood. New home buyers can fear overpaying when advised to bid above the asking price on their first offer. The cold hard truth is that some houses are selling for upwards of $100,000 over the asking price. Sellers have the leverage and the luxury to pick whichever offer has the highest price and the fewest subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers have to learn quickly! If you take too long adjusting to the market conditions, buyer fatigue is going to set in. Unfortunately, desperation can also kick in at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest bummer of this whole process is that when the buyer finally does buy a home, they may long for the one that got away!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Tips to Boost Your Defense Against Buyer Fatigue:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Hire an experienced agent you can trust!<\/strong> This means that right now may not be the best time to try out your cousin who just got licensed.<\/em> Choose an agent who can balance writing a winning offer and protecting your interests. Select someone who clearly communicates and takes the time to explain the risk in waiving subjects.<\/li>
  2. Speak with a mortgage specialist to help you get the most out of your money.<\/strong> They can walk you through the best type of financing for your individual situation and share helpful tips based on their knowledge of the industry.<\/li>
  3. Get fully and thoroughly pre-approved!<\/strong> Get pre-approved before making an offer. Make sure to complete all the paperwork you can ahead of time.<\/li>
  4. Don\u2019t be afraid to go ALL IN with your first offer<\/strong>. Know that it is okay to fall in love with the first house you make an offer on. Remember that subjects can be removed if due diligence was properly done before writing an offer. Having an experienced agent to guide you through these decisions is vital. <\/li>
  5. Consider updating your wish list<\/strong>. If you have lost out in previous offers, speak with your agent about reevaluating your wish list. You can increase the number of potential homes by broadening your preferred neighborhoods or updating the minimum property size (just to name a few). Additionally, the properties in less popular areas may have reduced audiences which lowers the amount of competition. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
