Buyer's Remorse
Take
It And Run: Ilyce's Corner
By Ilyce Glink for Right at Home Daily
From the buyer's point of view, paying list or
over list for a home can be tough to swallow. It's even harder if you're not
sure you've found the right home, or one that's merely available.
There's a difference between not being sure about
whether you really want to buy a particular home and not being able to commit.
If you have a commitment problem, you need to explore your fears about buying.
If you're paying full freight but aren't sure you want the house, you're ripe
for buyer's remorse -- that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach that
keeps you awake at night.
The only way to avoid buyer's remorse is to do
your homework. Make sure you know exactly how much homes are selling for, and
what square footage and amenities folks are getting for their money. Once you
really know the market, you'll know if you're ready to pay the price - or not.
