Buying a home can be scary for anyone, first time buyers, and even buyers who have purchase a home previously. Buying a home is the largest purchase most people will ever make in their lifetime. Homes are a huge investment, so the purchasing process can feel daunting. Many buyers don’t understand fluctuating Mortgage rates, submitting competitive offers, navigating a sellers’ market, and now having to deal with a pandemic. That’s a lot to manage.
Many buyers say they feel anxious about the home buying process in general. Some buyers tell me that purchasing a home gives them more anxiety than even having a tooth pulled, filing taxes, or the fear of commitment. Because the homebuying process can be scary, many clients I speak with say they have a fear that they may not be able to afford a mortgage. Also, some have expressed concerns about taking a hard look at their finances.
Ok, hear is my selfless plug. A Real estate professionals can help you with many of these fears. I often talk with my clients about many of these issues that give them pause.
The long and short of it is to plan ahead when thinking about purchasing a home. I advise people to look out about a year. This will give you amble time to make sure you are financially ready, and in some cases emotionally ready.
When you are ready give me a call.
