🏡 5 Things First-Time Buyers Always Forget
Buying your first home is exciting—but it can also be overwhelming. With so much to think about, even the most prepared buyers overlook a few key details. Here are 5 things first-time buyers often forget (but shouldn’t):
1. 💵 Budgeting for More Than Just the Purchase Price
It’s not just about the down payment. Don’t forget closing costs, home inspections, moving expenses, and future maintenance.
2. 🏠 Thinking Long-Term
Will this home still work for you in 3–5 years? Think about resale value, schools, job commute, and lifestyle changes.
3. 📋 Getting Pre-Approved (Not Just Pre-Qualified)
A pre-approval letter makes your offer stronger and shows sellers you’re serious.
4. 🔍 Scheduling a Home Inspection
Even with a nice-looking home, an inspection can reveal costly hidden issues—don’t skip it.
5. 🤝 Choosing the Right Agent
You need someone who listens, protects your interests, and guides you step-by-step—not just someone who opens doors.
