Reflecting on the past year, I noticed some common mistakes made by buyers that I think are important to share. Real Estate isn't always walk in closets and dreamy kitchens.
Whether you're a first time buyer or a well seasoned one, these may save you from making the same mistakes.
1. Waiting too long to buy. The anticipation of a price drop or lower interest rates can make you hesitate, but the real estate market is unpredictable. While waiting, prices may instead rise, and you might miss out on a home that is perfect for you.
2. Not sticking to budget. Touring homes out of reach or feeling the “snare of compare” can throw you off your budget track. Remember, a dream home isn't dreamy if it's making you lose sleep over mortgage payments.
3. Not leaning heavily enough or communicating with your agent. I can't stress enough how important this one is. As your agent, I'm here to shoulder your concerns and guide you around pitfalls. The clients I helped last year were wonderful, but a lesson I consistently learned was that every question you ask, and every doubt you share with me translates into a more seamless journey toward your dream home.
