"While bidding wars have cooled, competition remains: recent reports show that around 20% of homes nationwide received multiple offers in mid-2025. One way to stand out in today's market is by writing a "buyer love letter," a short note to the seller that explains who you are, why you love the home, and why they can feel confident choosing you."
"Even in today's cooler market, competition is still real. Writing a personal letter to the seller can give your offer an edge by creating connection, showing sincerity, and boosting seller confidence. Connection: Sellers often want to know their home will be appreciated. Differentiation: In a multiple-offer situation, a letter can humanize your offer. Confidence: Expressing financial readiness can reassure sellers."
Homebuying remains competitive despite easing since the pandemic peak; 26% cited in some statistics actually reflected all-cash buyers in late 2023 and early 2024, not bidding-war prevalence. Recent reports indicate about 20% of homes received multiple offers in mid-2025. A concise buyer 'love letter' can differentiate an offer by explaining who the buyer is, why the home appeals to them, and why the seller can trust the buyer. Effective letters balance genuine connection with clear statements of financial readiness. Letters should avoid personal details that could raise Fair Housing concerns, use professional wording, and remain brief.
