It's a sellers market!This past month, we have represented Northwest Indiana Home Buyers who have been inmultiple offer situations where a Multi-Offer Disclosure Form has been sent back by the seller asking for an extension of time to review all offers and giving buyers an opportunity to bring their highest and best offer back to the table.When buyers have the option of paying Cash for a home, this type of financing may have more leverage in a multiple offer situation since an appraisal is not required, therefore there will be no issues with finding recent SOLD com-parables at above list price and no underwriting approval as there is no loan needed!The economics of supply & demand apply = Less move in ready inventory for sale in NW Indiana (supply),and more buyers (demand) especially in...
