It’s been pretty standard for hot (re: coastal/urban-exurban) markets for at least 5 years. Does it make a difference - probably just a little on the margin. Won’t win you against a better offer but all things being equal if you can manage to make a connection in a letter, maybe gives you a slight edge.
