This has triggered a surge in home prices, which grew 15% year over year during the four-week period ending <span class=\"xn-chron\">Nov. 1<\/span>, and are showing no signs of slowing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Has the market calmed down since the summer? Yes, but every offer I submit still faces multiple competing bids and we continue to see a lot more buyers than we normally would at this time of year,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Melissa Killham<\/span>, a Redfin real estate agent in <span class=\"xn-location\">Kenosha, WI.<\/span> &#8220;The typical home today gets four or five offers, compared with eight or nine back in September. The buyers who are in the market right now don&#8217;t need to buy. They&#8217;re buying if they find the perfect home with more space and a big backyard, and if not, they&#8217;re staying put until they do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <b>Salt Lake City Was the Most Competitive Market; Las Vegas Was the Least Competitive<br \/><\/b><br \/>\n        <\/b>At least half of offers faced bidding wars in 16 of the 24 metros in this analysis. <span class=\"xn-location\">Salt Lake City<\/span> had the highest bidding-war rate, with 75% of Redfin offers encountering competition. In second place was <span class=\"xn-location\">San Diego<\/span>, at 73.2%, followed by <span class=\"xn-location\">San Francisco<\/span>\/<span class=\"xn-location\">San Jose<\/span>, at 69.6%. <span class=\"xn-location\">Austin<\/span>, which was the second-most popular destination for homebuyers looking to move to a different metro area in the third quarter, was number four.<\/p>\n<p>At the northern end of the Jersey Shore, the housing market is so hot that offering all cash for a home doesn&#8217;t always cut it anymore, according to local Redfin real estate agent <span class=\"xn-person\">Anthony Gonzalez<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cash is no longer king in this market,&#8221; he said. &#8220;What wins a bidding war today is offering more than the asking price and waiving the appraisal contingency. Generally, if you&#8217;re bidding on a house that&#8217;s in great condition in a good location with multiple offers, you&#8217;ve gotta go at least <span class=\"xn-money\">$20,000<\/span> over ask. Every single time that my client does, they win the deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-location\">Las Vegas<\/span> had a lower rate of competition than any other metro area in this analysis, with just 38.2% of offers facing bidding wars in October.

That compares with 56.8% of offers for townhomes, and 59.4% of offers for single-family homes.<\/p>\n<p>The condo market has seen relatively slow growth as remote work, the desire for privacy and record-low mortgage rates have made single-family homes more desirable during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Seattle&#8217;s Capitol Hill neighborhood, there are no bidding wars at all when it comes to condos,&#8221; said local Redfin agent <span class=\"xn-person\">Forrest Moody<\/span>. &#8220;I&#8217;ve sold 25 condos so far this year, and I have not had bidding wars on any of
