I've been in countless multiple offer situations over the last few months as the housing market went back to being a sellers market. If you are a buyer here's what you need to know: 1. Try to get a loan commitment with as minimum conditions as possible. This carries more weight than a pre-approval. Not all lenders provide this. 2. Make your first offer your best. If you know you want the home don't risk loosing it to an aggressive ready willing and able buyer. 3. Keep your schedule flexible. Be prepared to see properties ASAP. 4. Don't wait to write your offer if you love the home.
