That&#8217;s up 33% from the previous year. Due to a high demand and low supply of homes, people were willing to roll the dice a place a bid before ever setting foot in their potential new home.<\/p>\n<p>One might ask who is most likely to bid on a house site-unseen? The answer is Millennial&#8217;s. Of the millennial homebuyers polled, 45% said they made an offer on a house they &#8220;hadn&#8217;t seen in person&#8221;. Bottom line, milliennials who grew up using the internet are far more likely to rely on information they find online than other generations.<\/p>\n<p>So with this hot demand and a new generation of homebuyers out there, what&#8217;s holding you back from selling your home? There are many great Realtors and lenders in the area who would love to help you explore your options.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, at Fidelity Land Title Agency, we\u2019re always here to answer your questions.
