With mortgage rates and home prices expected to rise and nearly one in five homes selling above list in January, buyers contending for a diminishing supply of homes can expect a competitive year.

The results of a recent Redfin survey show a growing trend of homebuyers making offers on homes before visiting in person.

A late-2017 Redfin-commissioned survey of more than 4,000 people revealed that only 6% of homebuyers said they would cancel their plans if mortgage rates surpassed 5%, among other key findings.
