One of the things about all of us humans is that we have a lot more in common than we think. When we are shopping for a new home, we usually surf through a pile of home listings and pick a handful that look fairly good. Typically there are some doubts and questions that require in person examination, and probably the assistance of a good buyer's agent.
Your agent can do some preliminary checking to determine whether there are any huge issues that may make an attractive listing not too desirable. The home may have a high speed, high traffic railroad in the back yard, or it may have a few walls missing. Eventually, you will need to walk through the choices you have not eliminated.
A tour of the six or sixty homes you have found interesting should leave you with a few that look attractive, maybe even really nice. Now, how do you decide which one is the home for you? Which one is the best of show?
There are two routes you can choose. First, you can take a deep breath, and make a carefully considered choice. Make an offer on the home you like best. Second, you can spend a few days deciding, trying to determine which is the absolute best of the remaining choices. Take a few days, then take a week.
Somewhere between a day and a week, it will be really easy to figure out which home was best. It will have accepted an offer from another buyer.
You see, all of us are more similar than different. Almost all of us want at least three bedrooms and a couple bathrooms and a double garage and a nice back yard. Anything more is even better. We all want the best home at the best price, and eventually either you or someone else will make the choice and get that home. If you spend a long enough time deciding which is best, the decision will be made for you. Yes, we all have similar wants and needs, and we all will eventually choose the best.
It's up to you to choose the best or the best of what's left. The early bird got the best worm.
