5 COMMON FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER MISTAKES

1. They don’t ask enough questions of their lender and end up missing out on the best deal.

2. They don’t act quickly enough to make a decision and someone else buys the house.

3. They don’t find the right agent who’s willing to help them through the homebuying process.

4. They don’t do enough to make their offer look appealing to a seller.

5. They don’t think about resale before they buy. The average first-time buyer only stays in a home for four years.

Good post. But I suppose now, when US market is mostly buyers market, home buyers consider themselves in a big advantage and are not careful enough. I am realtor in Toronto and this is most of the time sellers market, so I think your advices will be appreciated more here :)
Best wishes!
