Why Setting Realistic Expectation is Key to Buying Your Next Home

When shopping for a house, it's essential to know what you want, but also to remain realistic.

Having an unreasonably long wish list or unrealistic expectations can keep you from becoming a homeowner.

Create two lists: one for must-haves and another for features that would be nice to have.

Understand that most houses will need work. Some will just need a fresh coat of paint, while others will require updates or remodeling to suit your family’s needs.

Home prices fluctuate in response to shifts in supply and demand. If you’re in a seller’s market, expect limited options and high prices.

Your expectations might be based on your experience buying a house in a different city years ago. Prices in your current location might be higher.
