3 Reasons to Think Twice About A House - & 3 Reasons To Go Ahead and Purchase #homeownership

It's normal to have pre-purchase nerves when you buy a home, but buyers remorse is no joke.  Here are 3 reasons you may want to think twice, and 3 reasons to think you may have found the right place.

YOU MAY WANT TO THINK TWICE IF...
1.  It's Too Expensive.  If it's too expensive for your budget, that's one thing.  But you also shouldn't pay for something that's overpriced relative to other nearby homes.

2.  The Location Isn't What You Want.  The saying is true:  you can change the house, but you can't change the neighborhood.

3.  You're Unsure About Your Future Income.  You should feel confident in your job security, or that you have savings needed to handle a temporary interruption in income.

YOU MAY BE READY TO BUY A HOME IF...
1.  It's The Home You Judge Others Against.  If you find yourself referring to one specific house even when you're visiting others, it may be a sign.

2.  You Can See Yourself Living There.  You already have the living room furniture laid out in your mind and it fits!

3.  Its Got "Good Bones".  Sure, maybe the wallpaper isn't perfect, but things like light fixtures and carpet are easily customized to suit your style.
