Just curious? Looked at two houses this week - one on the first day it was listed the second before it was listed. Both were under contract before I got home from the viewings. Is this normal? It's crazy

Depends on location and price. Just like anywhere else.

That would tell me its a sellers market and you will probably be buying at peak pricing. Sucks for you.

The real gems go to people with an inside track. Agents snap up the good deals for themselves as investments or they call their investor buyer they know that buys multiple properties a year from them.

How is it the opposite of a sellers market if it's insane and things are flying off the market?

Both of theses houses were pretty expensive. I don't mind buying at a peak as I won't be looking to sell for a long long time. It just blows my mind that these properties are going so fast. Guess I'm just pissed because I really liked one of these places and wanted to buy it

Right. The very definition of a sellers market. In a buyers market there are lots of options and you have time and room to negotiate due to too much comparable inventory.

Renovate and put in the market for ridiculous prices. Across the street from my mom's condo was put on the market for 1.2 million. Sold in 5 days with a total renovation needed. It is crazy what is going on.

Don't know your situation but I would not buy right now in NO. You will pay 25-35% over as is appraised value then have to sink 100-150k in renovations.

What happened in Atlanta will happen here and don't forget one good hurricane and your prop value loses 30-40%.
