Buying a home is probably the single largest purchase most people will make in their lifetime. It is a complicated process, and, unfortunately, we all know someone who's suffered from buyer's remorse.
Maybe the home didn't really fit their needs, or the location was far from ideal. Perhaps they overpaid, or they bought a lemon that rapidly became a money pit.
Whatever the story, the potential for costly and emotionally upsetting problems is what makes home buying so scary for many people.
This book will make you a savvy shopper; one who's less likely to purchase the wrong home and more likely to get the best possible deal for their money.
I will take you step by step through the complete home-buying process--from determining if you are ready to buy; to financing, inspections, and negotiating; and finally to closing escrow and enjoying your new home.
Of course, markets will vary according to local economies, but whether you're in a seller's or buyer's market, there are steps you can take to improve your bargaining position.
Let's get started!
