I had two accepted offers today, one on a listing I am selling and another for a buyer I am representing. Here's a coincidence: They are on the same street in New Rochelle, less than a mile apart. They are completely unrelated deals.
Another offer was presented on behalf of my buyer but we havn't had a response yet. Two accepted offers and the possibility of a 3rd in one day doesn't make me a great agent. But it does speak to the fact that people are no longer sitting on their hands.
Word is out that now is the time to buy. Rates are fantastic, sellers are motivated, and prices are way down. The holidays are apparently not a deterrent to the pool of active buyers out there. Of course, Sundays get more husbands out with their wives when the Giants and Jets stink.
