- Remember, there’s no ‘right’ time to buy a Houston home. Changes don’t usually occur fast enough to make that much difference in price, and a good Houston home won’t stay on the market long.
- Don’t ask for too many opinions. It’s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but too many ideas will make it much harder to make a decision.
- Accept that no house is ever perfect. Focus on the things that are most important to you and let the minor ones go.
- Don’t try to be a killer negotiator. Negotiation is definitely a part of the real estate process, but trying to ‘win’ by getting an extra-low price may lose you the Houston home you love.
- Consider maintenance and repair costs in your post-home buying budget. Even if you buy a new Houston home, there will be some costs. Don’t leave yourself short and let your Houston home deteriorate.
