Amy Fontinelle at Investopedia.com has written an excellent house hunting guide, covering the most common mistakes made by home buyers. Anyone thinking of buying a condo or house in the Ontario, Canada real estate market will find these tips extremely helpful.
Here are Fontinell’s top 8 house hunting mistakes:
- Falling in love with a house you can’t afford
- Thinking that a particular house is the only one that will suit you
- Being so desperate to become a homeowner that you buy a place that doesn’t suit you
- Overlooking important flaws in the structure, appearance or location of the house
- Thinking you’re a handyman when you’re not
- Putting in an offer before carefully considering all the pros and cons of the property
- Being too slow to pull the trigger
- Offering more than a house is worth
