Many buyers, especially first-time home buyers, fall into the trap of falling in love with the first home they see. Why is that a problem?
You need to see a lot of homes in the area you are interested in that are in your price range so that you are extremely educated on which home to buy. The more you know, the less likely you are to suffer from buyer’s remorse.
You need to look at several homes. I recommend looking at about three to five homes in the area you want to live in. That way, you will have a good idea of how far your money will go. You will also know which features and amenities might be trade-offs and which features are things you do not want to give up. We want to make sure that you see everything that is available.
