Forecast: Excitement with Occasional Terror - that is what I try to remember to share with first time home buyers. The excitement of searching for a home, then finding the right one, writing an offer - and best yet - getting that offer accepted! Wow - it all feels so good!
But....then somewhere along the way, it's almost a sure thing that you will wake up in the middle of the night in a panic. What have we done? Is this the right house? Should we even buy a house - it seems so risky! Are we paying too much? Will all of our furniture fit? Will the neighbors be nice? What if something goes wrong?
Ah yes - the moments of buyer panic! Definitely normal - after all, buying a first house IS a big deal. But remember how we included lots of addendums to make sure that if something truly does go wrong - with your loan, or the appraisal, or the inspection, or the title report - you will have a way out if you need it.
Trust that moments of buyer terror are absolutely normal - and then let the excitement return because owning your first house is going to be amazing!
