Home Buyer Mistakes!

There’s a lot that goes into buying a home so let’s break down some major things to avoid👇🏼

1. Before you start looking at homes, get clear about exactly what you’re looking for! Of course we’re humans and sometimes our minds change throughout the process of home searching. Our criteria may change but it’s important to get clear about certain non negotiable things that you must have and what’s important to you so you and your Realtor can look at homes that are the most relevant to what you’re looking for.

2. Please remember you chose your Realtor for a REASON. Sure anyone can look online at listings & get a sense of general prices in an area but your agent is the professional who STUDIES the markets; this is not something we occasionally look at online for fun (although maybe sometimes🙊) we study the local numbers & trends, have negotiation tactics etc. Trust them.

3. Stretching yourself too thin is this market has become very common since home buyers now have to basically bid for a home. Keep in mind that there is still LIFE after this purchase. You don’t want to stretch yourself too thin and be house poor & not be able to still enjoy your life. There is way more then just the monthly mortgage to take into consideration, utility cost, insurance, groceries, furnishing the home etc all go into the bucket of owning a home.

Buyers vs. Expectations

Buyers! One of the most important things we as realtors have to do with buyers is make sure budget & expectations line up. Now more than ever before this has been extremely challenging with how quickly the market has shifted & getting buyers to line their expectations up with the market. If you had hoped for a detached, 3 bathrooms, big back yard, finished basement, ETC, maybe your budget allowed for that last year but unfortunately with the way the market is now it’s super important to have realistic expectations with yourselves and your realtor. Maybe something on your list needs to compromise and that’s okay!! 🙏🏼 the most important thing is to just get in and buy & the best time to buy is now🏡
