Earlier this month, Natalia Latsios listed a two-bedroom condo at 6 p.m. on a Sunday night.
By early Monday afternoon, the Realtor with Century 21 Home Advisors in Lancaster had a cash offer at the full asking price of $178,500. She says it was from buyers who wanted the condo for a second home and were willing to waive inspection on a dwelling theyâd only seen online.
They had never stepped foot inside.
âIf that doesnât show you what the market is like, then I donât know what will,â Latsios says.
At a time when demand for homes is far outpacing supply â not to mention one in which the pandemic is still a presence â buying sight-un(physically)seen is putting buyers, sellers and the professionals working with them in somewhat unfamiliar territory.
