54% of Redfin offers faced competition as the supply of homes for sale and mortgage rates continued to fall in June. Single-family homes and townhouses were much more likely than condos to receive multiple bids.
More than half of Redfin offers for homes faced competition in June for the second month in a row. Nationwide, 53.7% of Redfin offers faced bidding wars last month, up from a revised rate of 51.8% in May and 44.4% in April*.
An offer is considered part of a bidding war if a Redfin agent reported that it received at least one competing bid.
The bidding-war rate is rising even as the coronavirus pandemic and the shaky economy that comes with it continues to spread across the country.
