Buying a home in today's market?
It takes patience and tenacity and wishing on a star.
Buying a new home is a source of anxiety, frustration -- and a huge sense of accomplishment. You may have to put in several offers and get rejected a few times but your house is out there waiting for you and you will get an accepted offer if you keep moving forward. The first step is to get pre-approved for your mortgage.
I like to quote Walt Disney. He said, "We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."
Anytime I find myself frustrated and feeling like I've hit the wall, I think about Walt. He failed many times before he was successful. He had more failed ideas than successful ones. He too was human and got depressed and disappointed. He had a vision and he didn't give up. He made us all believe that we could wish upon a star and our dreams would come true. Thoughts do become things. If we maintain focus on what we desire most, we can arrive at that destination.
We are living in tough economic times. This generation is growing up with a different set of values and strengths. We are no longer living in a "me" society. Remember your great grandparents saying, "Patience is a virtue?" It's true today. The economy has forced many of us to re-think our values, embracing an appreciation of basic comforts, friends, family, life and food on the table. A gorgeous blue sky! Enjoying the little things in everyday moments makes living our life magical.
What's YOUR vision? Are you ready to own your home?
