Mistake #5 – Jumping at the First House You Like
You feel the tingling sensation as soon as you get out of bed the morning you’re ready to start looking for your first home. You rush through the morning routine so that you can get to your computer. It’s finally here – you’re looking for your first home. You make an appointment to tour a home and you love it! The mistake many first-time home buyers make is to choose the first home they see.
Why is it a mistake to choose the first home you like?
As a first-time home buyer, you don’t really know what to look for or to expect in your home shopping experience. The first home that you see which has even 65% of what you want/need you will fall in love with simply because you are in love with the idea of purchasing your first home.
Don’t rush into it! Give yourself enough time to see several options and then select the best home for you based on all the choices. One home is not a choice! Remember that!
