Common Mistakes First-Time Buyers Make (Especially in This Market)

Indecision is at an all-time high but it doesn’t have to be.
Here are the most common mistakes first-time buyers make:

1. Skipping pre-approval
This slows everything down and kills negotiating power.

2. Underestimating costs
Maintenance, insurance, closing fees, they add up quickly.

3. Relying only on online listings
A realtor sees opportunities and risks you won’t see online.

4. Following emotions instead of strategy
With abundant inventory, staying focused matters more than ever.
