Today we are here to talk about making an offer on a new listing. It’s something that has been happening quite a bit in Central Illinois, so there are a few different things we want to discuss with you when it comes to bidding on these fresh listings.

First off, you need to understand the real estate market or at least hire a Realtor who does. Don’t be afraid of the listing because it’s new, use the expertise of your agent to determine the home’s value, and if the price lines up with that. 


One easy way to figure out the market value of a home is by looking at the prices that homes near it sold for. These homes, more than anything else, determine your home’s true market value. 

To give yourself an extra boost, we recommend writing a personal letter to the home seller letting them know how much you want the home for yourself and your family. Buying and selling is an emotional process and sometimes if you can really let the home seller know why you are so in love with the home, it just might help your case.
