We've had some unseasonably warm weather this year, and it's been great for our local real estate market. Activity hasn't dropped as sharply as it has in the past, so we're still able to help a lot of buyers right now.

I've been getting the same question a lot lately, and it has to do with how quickly you need to get a response from a home seller. As a buyer, you're probably anxious to hear back from the seller, so let's delve into this.

There really isn't a concrete answer, and it really depends on the situation. If we know that there are multiple offers on the home, we usually demand a response within 24 hours. This puts our buyers in a better position to win the home because it makes the seller worry that they're losing their best offer.

On the contrary, there are other situations where sellers can't make a quick decision. If it's an estate and the siblings are selling it together, it could take a while.

My recommendation is that if you really love a home, then make a strong offer. Sellers naturally respond quickly to good offers because they don't want to lose them.
