Emotional Stages



Emotional Stages


Last week we discussed the emotional mistakes that can be made when buying a home.  This week we are going to discuss the emotional stages that one goes through in the home buying process.  

As I stated in last week’s blog, we do nothing without an emotion attached to it.  This is especially true when making one of the biggest and most important purchases a person will quiet possibly ever make.  

So let’s jump right in and get started.  Here is a list of just 5 stages that are associated with the purchase of a home. 

Don’t let the list overwhelm you – you have a licensed Realtor on your side!  Just pick up the phone and give us a call – Mick and Jane Goebel are trusted and experienced agents and they are ready to help you today!

Frustration

  1. Not Pre-Qualified
  2. Not many options in your price range
  3. Limited resources
  4. Millennial
  5. First-time home buyer

Nervousness 


  1.  Deciding on the best offer price
  2. Making an offer
  3. Multiple offers

Disappointment 


  1. Seller could reject your offer
  2. Home doesn’t pass inspection – which leads to a completely different situation altogether!

Stress


  1. Home inspection
  2. Home appraisal

Relief, happy and fear


  1. The closing
  2. The time commitment
  3. The finances

Habits to have before making your purchase

Habit No. 1: Automate your down payment savings

  •  Save, Save, Save – in order to have the 20% recommended down payment
  • Amassing enough for a down payment takes discipline and perseverance, but setting up automatic savings can make it easier

Habit No. 2: Build your credit history and keep it clean


  •  Pay Off Past Debts 
  •  Stay on top of your credit cards, car and college loans
  • Don’t avoid credit all together; but pay all your bills and payments on time

Habit No. 3: Practice living on a budget


  •  Compare renting vs buying in your area
  •  Create a budget that factors in your new reality so you can get used to living on less disposable income
  • Downsizing your budget early also means you’ll be able to save more for your down payment, pay down debt, or save for furniture for your new home.

Habit No. 4: Get your handy on


  •  Property maintenance … is an ongoing effort for homeowners
  •  Knowing how to fix basic home issues … will save thousands of dollars in the future

Habit No. 5: Prepare to pounce


  • Learn the real estate market in your area
  • Start browsing homes online
