Same here. Houses that go up for sale in the morning are often under contract by evening. We bought our place in September and got lucky to get it. At one place my husband looked at, it was on a dead-end street and there was a line of cars all the way to the road with people who had appointments to look at it. On our street, two weeks ago a house went up for sale on Saturday and was under contract by Sunday evening.
