In the Corps, mission-planning starts with a map and hard data. Home-buying is no different. My “Real Reconnaissance” compiles:
- Speed to Sell: How fast homes in your ZIP go under contract.
- Nearby VA Sales: What similar VA-backed homes really closed for.
- Winning Offer Snapshot: Average days to close and perks buyers are getting (repairs, credits, rate buydowns).
With those three metrics we decide: advance now or hold for better ground—before you risk earnest money.
