She spotted a condo listed for $699,000 garner 11 offers and a house listed for $2.8 million snag five bids last month.“Everyone who wasn’t pre-approved is getting themselves pre-approved because people want to jump on buying something because they’re worried that prices are going to start going way too high again,” said Mazaheri.
