    The spring brings buds, blooms, and…competition. Duking it out among buyers intensified in February and likely will intensify further through the rest of April and into May.

    February saw, on average, almost five offers for each home sold. That’s higher than in recent months, according to the February 2022 REALTORS® Confidence Index Survey. Real estate professionals who were surveyed reported more than five offers, on average. And what did all those offers have in common?

    • Almost half were above list price

    • Buyers typically lose two homes before succeeding on the third try

    Homes are selling quickly under the intense competition. Eighty-four percent of listings were on the market for less than a month. “Competition could intensify in 2022 before waning in 2023 as home buyers compete to lock in at the current rates,” Gay Cororaton, a research economist for NAR, writes on the association’s blog. “Mortgage rates may rise more steeply in 2023.”
