10 Things to Take the Trauma Out of Homebuying
- Find a
real estate professional who’s simpatico.
- Remember,
there’s no “right” time to buy, any more than there’s a right time to
sell.
- Don’t
ask for too many opinions.
- Accept
that no house is ever perfect. Focus in on the things that are most
important to you and let the minor ones go.
- Don’t
try to be a killer negotiator.
- Remember
your home doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
- Don’t
wait until you’ve found a home and made an offer to get approved for a
mortgage, investigate insurance availability, and consider a schedule for
moving.
- Factor
in maintenance and repair costs in your post-homebuying budget.
- Accept
that a little buyer’s remorse is inevitable and will probably pass.
- Choose
a home first because you love it; then think about appreciation.
