Buyers: Buy Your Home Guilt Free With This ONE Tip

Have you ever splurged on Era's Tour Tickets then regretted it?⁠

⁠Me neither 😉 BEST. PURCHASE. EVER. ⁠

⁠But buyer's remorse is a very real thing. Just ask the 64% of millennials who bought a home last year. According to a 2021 survey by Bankrate and YouGov, many millenials bought homes last year then regretted it. 😳⁠

⁠The number one reason? They went over budget.⁠

⁠This is one of the main things I talk to my clients about when I'm first setting up their home search. I encourage them to look UNDER budget so that they don't stretch themselves too thin. ⁠

⁠Just because your lender says you could buy a $800,000 home doesn't mean you should. In fact, I encourage my buyers to start looking several thousand dollars below budget to begin.⁠

⁠Why? Because I know buyer's remorse is real. And I know the best way to avoid it is to stay under budget as much as possible (while still getting most everything on your list of must-haves). ⁠

⁠My goal isn't just a happy client on closing day - I aim for my clients to be happy with their purchase years later, too. And it all starts with honoring your budget.⁠

⁠Don't live life to support your home; your home should support the way you want to live your life. ✨⁠
