Absolutley is, if I wanted I could easily get 30k over value for my house right now if I wanted to sellI lost out on 2 house bids in the last 3 weeks.
The first due to the other buyer being willing to buy with no home inspection, like who does that? And the second was due to some rich bloke from Boston throwing down half a mil in cold hard cash. Housing market is wild right now.
I bought my current house almost 3 years ago for $188k and I’m selling it for $282.5k and I made basically zero improvements.I lost out on 2 house bids in the last 3 weeks.

It happens a lot in sellers markets (like this one) as a sweetener during a bidding war, or as an attempt to avoid a bidding war. It removes a potential obstacle on the way to getting a deal done. Same deal with dude paying 100% cash; the house didn't have to appraise at that point (and many houses in this market are going to appraise for way less than the selling price).I lost out on 2 house bids in the last 3 weeks.
