Home Buyer Frenzy

Get Ready Now

Advice to every buyer.   As spring approaches and the buying season kicks into gear, I want to share some reflections from the crazy days of the pandemic.  Homes were selling fast and often over market value.  As the broker overseeing a billion in volume, I got the calls after the frenzy of the purchase and the reality of the home purchase set in.  Too often, the buyer did not love the home, and regretted their purchase, especially if they paid over the list price.   Sometimes the home was not in great condition and the realization of the repairs and upkeep hit bigger than they thought.   My advice?  Make the best decision for you and your family, make sure you have options, get the inspection and take the time to truly evaluate the condition of the home.   Work with your agent to know your options and know how to move quickly without sacrificing your core needs and wants.   Ask a lot of questions and get the answers you need.   Do your homework now and be ready when the perfect house pops up.   We love answering and finding answers. patm@mreandadvisors.com Buy with confidence.
