Homes in hot areas of the country are being sold more quickly according to an article from FoxBusinessNews published on July 2. The article also cites Leslie Piper, the Consuming Housing Specialist at Realtor.com, saying that he has “seen all cash offers close in three days” and that loans can be approved within 21 to 25 days. The National Association of Realtors further points out that 45% of homes sold in May 2013 were in the market for less than a month. The median time for housing sales in the said month was 41 days. This quick turnaround time means that you have to be prepared beforehand if you want to buy a home. Real estate properties in Long Beach, for example, attract so many buyers that you can't afford to wait for too long. For this matter, seeking assistance from reputable real estate brokers, such as those from Heritage Realty Brokers, must be included in your plan.
