Home prices in Sedgwick County are on the rise. The high demand is making it difficult for some buyers to even look at a home before an offer is in. A couple from Omaha said it’s been nearly impossible to find where they are going to live in Wichita. The pair recently got jobs in the area and now finding a new place to call home is proving difficult. “Monday we came down to town, we had a list of 10-12 homes and nine of them were already contracted on by the time we got into town,” said Spencer Shearer, a potential home buyer from Omaha. It’s a constant search for Shearer who said with homes selling quickly he has to bid on homes he hasn’t even seen. “It’s who can get in first and make an offer,” said Shearer. Lisa Anderson is a realtor for Weigand realty she says she is trying to get her clients to homes before anyone else. “As soon as a house hits the market I want to get my buyers in there as soon as possible so have, you know the advantage of time and then just trying to submit strong offers,” said Anderson.
