While it’s important to have an open mind while searching for a house, it’s also important to know what you absolutely need and what you could give up.
The Eclipse is a pet-friendly condominium community.
For instance, if you know you want to have a child in a couple years, avoid buying a one-room home. If having a child is something you value, make sure you have room in your new house for your family to grow. No matter what your values, determine what’s most important to figure out what you can and cannot compromise.
NEXT Mistake 6: Lacking vision.
While you should narrow down what you want and you list features most important to you, don’t be so inflexible that you make it impossible to find a home. If you’re too picky, you may have to continue renting when you could own a home. Be willing to compromise on some of the less important things that can be changed or ameliorated later, like outdated décor.
However, it’s vital to remember what’s most important to you. If you really can’t find something that has what you need and want, it may be best to rent for a few more years until something new comes along or until you’ve saved up more money to afford your perfect home.
