Competitive Real Estate Market Requires Buyers To Do Their Homework

With school started, the number of homebuyers has likely dropped. But for those that are left searching, the market is still very competitive — meaning buyers need to be armed and ready to pounce when the right house becomes available.

That's where Patch can help. Our partners at realtor.com provide useful, updated information for homebuyers, including photos, room specifications, school district ratings, and written descriptions. It is simply the best way to get a handle on the market and what to expect before you look at your first house.
