We're seeing a strong seller's market here in Central Ohio, but this doesn't mean your chances of finding a good home have disappeared. In fact, I have five ways in which you can compete in this hot market.

1. Pay cash or get pre-approved before submitting an offer.
When you're a pre-approved buyer, it's nearly as good as paying in cash. Sellers like to know that you can afford to buy their home.

2. Make your offer attractive to the seller.
Ask them questions about what they need. The best offer is often the one that satisfies all of the needs of the seller. The price of your offer is important, but not quite as important as you may think.

3. Don't monkey around with sellers.
They don't want to be working with a wishy-washy buyer. You need to get serious about buying, or sellers won't take you seriously either.

4. Ask only for the real estate. 

The homeowner may be flattered that you like their style, but they probably don't want to sell you their furniture with their home.

5. Work with a professional who has a track record of success when dealing with matters such as these.
