Make your Decision

A home is probably the largest investment in most people's lives. For that reason, many prospective homebuyers are fearful of making a decision to purchase. This is a very normal reluctance, but if you have been reading the "blogs" of the past several days and you follow the steps, you will develop confidence.You will have examined the criteria that are most important for your search. You will have educated yourself about the real estate market. You will have selected a professional real estate agent who will be educating you and answering your concerns along the way. When you find the home that meets all of your "needs" and most of your "wants" and is in the right neighborhood, and in your budget - it is the home for you! Don't wait to write up your offer. Even in a market that has slowed, another buyer could be looking for the exact same home.You may not sleep the night you submit your offer, but it will be exciting to buy the home that is right for you. Our first home did not meet all of our "wants", but it did need our "needs". As it turned out, we had seven great years in that home and it proved to have been the very best decision we could have made.
