Top 5 Biggest Mistakes Buyers Make | Naperville Home For Sale
Purchasing your dream home is an exciting experience but it
can be a potentially stressful one if you are not aware of the risks and
pitfalls. Many potential buyers think that buying a house is easy as long as
you have the money. However, there are some important points to consider
if you are set on buying a solidly constructed home.
1. Failing to have an inspection. You don’t want a
house that has structural damage, right? Home defects may be hard to recognize
and easy to overlook if you do not know what you are looking for, so before you
buy a house, enlist the assistance of a trusted home inspector.
2. Going over your budget. Financial experts recommend that buyers decide how much they want to
spend each month for housing before meeting with a lender. Before buying a Naperville home for sale, know your limit and do not go over it.
3. Forgetting additional expenses. Buying a home isn’t just a matter of replacing a rental payment
with a mortgage payment. There are also maintenance costs, utilities and
property taxes. You won’t want to max out your budget only to realize you have
additional monthly bills to pay after you have moved in.
4. Not going through the contract thoroughly. Carefully
look through every detail in your contract. If an item you expected to be on
the contract isn’t – be it light fixtures, shower and bath fixtures or even
appliances such as washing machines or dryers – ask about it, and get it added
in writing.
5. Not choosing to hire an
agent. Your agent can negotiate, do
the paperwork and help you with items and procedures that you may not even be
aware of.
