The Top Nine Home Buyer Stresses. Here\u2019s How to Deal With\nThem Like a Boss<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For most people, shopping for a new home is a very big deal\nand an intensely stressful undertaking. Moving from one place to another is disruptive\nenough \u2014 especially if precious possessions, pets, elders or kids are part of\nthe moving story. But that part almost seems easy, relative to what a buyer\ngoes through during the loan application and purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you\u2019re fortunate enough to be able to pay cash, your financial\nlife will come under scrutiny by mortgage experts. You\u2019ll have to be careful\nwith credit cards and avoid doing anything that could jiggle your credit score.\nCalls from your mortgage specialist to ask you, your employer, and possibly a\nco-borrower about your income get old after a few weeks. And that doesn\u2019t even\nget into the competitive and perhaps uncertain market you\u2019re sallying forth to\nface. Through it all, there\u2019s the burning question: Once I manage to\nactually buy a house, will the market hold up and will my investment will pan\nout?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The best thing to do about this rich mixture of stress is to\nembrace it. Really. A home purchase is an adventure, and stress is a factor in\nthe challenge. Talk it through with a friend who recently bought a house, or\nsomeone who cares about you and is fine with letting you vent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Issues Stress Out Buyers Most? The Nerve-Wracking Nine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you anticipate these potential snags at the starting\npoint, you can plan for the worst, and expect the best. No two buyers have the\nsame set of circumstances, but here are nine common sources of anxiety. Know\nwhat to expect before the game begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.    \nYour real estate agent just isn\u2019t on your\nwavelength. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is Number One for a reason. Your agent\nhas to be your confidant. A good real estate agent strives to understand your\nlimits, your needs and future goals, and helps you achieve your mission\nwisely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival tip:<\/strong> Unless you are\nabsolutely sure there is no one else who will work like the dickens for you the\nway this<\/em> agent will, be sure your contract is non-exclusive. That way, you\nwon\u2019t face penalties if you later decide to seek an alternative realtor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.    \nThe seller is unreasonable or hurried.  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You might need time. An underwriter may\nreject your loan for some reason that just came out of left field. At that\npoint perhaps you\u2019ll have to pivot, for example, from a conventional loan to an\nFHA mortgage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival tip:<\/strong> When you\u2019re shopping for\nthe right home, look for ways to establish a genuine rapport with the current\nowner. That could make the difference between the rigid seller and the seller\nwho gives you a break when you most need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.    \nThe home inspection discloses serious repair\nneeds.   <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This gets back to Issue Number One. Is your\nagent eager to negotiate for you? Ask for the repairs to be made, or bargain\nfor a fair discount on the home price if that makes sense to you and your\nrealtor. Note that home warranties, which some sellers offer, might strictly\nlimit your choices for parts and personnel. It\u2019s often best to get the issue\nworked out before you\u2019re handed the keys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival tip:<\/strong> Proceed with extra\ncaution when looking at houses built more than 50 years ago. Some of the\nelements \u2014 plumbing, painting, insulation \u2014 weren\u2019t regulated then as they are\nnow, and replacing old infrastructure will be on your shoulders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.    \nThe appraisal seems to take forever, or comes\nback low.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An appraiser can take days, even weeks, to evaluate\nthe home you\u2019re desperate to close on.  This can fluster the strongest of buyers. If\nthe appraiser averages a local foreclosure into the estimate, or\nunderappreciates local market dynamics, the appraised value can come back too\nlow for the underwriter to approve, because the loan-to-value ratio now becomes\na sticking point. You might need to dispute the appraisal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival tips:<\/strong> Order the appraisal\npromptly once you make an acceptable offer. Create a list of recent comparable\nsales that back up your offer, in case you need to press the underwriter to\napprove that price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.    \nThe seller doesn\u2019t immediately reply to the\noffer. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Buyers typically wonder if their offers are fair,\nor how they\u2019ll need to respond if their sellers try to push the price up.\nAnxiety can easily creep in at this point: What is the seller thinking?<\/em> Or\nin the reverse situation, the seller accepts right away. Why did the seller\naccept my offer so promptly? Didn’t other home hunters see the value in this\nhome?<\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival tip:<\/strong> Prepare for healthful\ndistractions when this time comes and just give the seller some space to\nrespond. Whether the reply comes slowly or quickly, give yourself credit for\nmaking a reasoned offer, guided by your realtor\u2019s experience in selling in the\narea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.    \nA surprise title defect turns up.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The title search could unexpectedly reveal\na cloud\non the title<\/a> or a pending lawsuit. If the creditor can\u2019t be found or\nwon\u2019t clear the matter up quickly, then what? Prepare mentally for the\nworst-case scenario: walking away from the deal. This is what contingencies in\na purchase agreement are for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival tips:<\/strong> Surprise defects can appear\nlong after purchase. This is what an owner\u2019s title\ninsurance policy<\/a> (not the lender\u2019s policy) is for. Consider\npurchasing this optional form of protection. If you\u2019re buying into a multi-unit\nproperty, prevent surprises. Contact the homeowner\u2019s association early, and ask\nif there\u2019s any legal action pending against the property or HOA liens against\nyour unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.    \nThe financial aspects of homebuying become\noverwhelming. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Buying a home means paying cash up front, plus\nthe large monthly payments for the mortgage, taxes and maintenance. A reasonable\nbuyer might wonder: What if I run into unexpected health or income problems?\nWhat if the real estate market crashes after I buy?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival tip:<\/strong> Ask your mortgage specialist for the highest possible closing cost and monthly payment scenario so you\u2019re ready for reality. Then, accept that the scrutiny of your income, credit and debt is meant to protect you from those same what-if<\/em> scenarios. If you wind up struggling later on, you\u2019ll have to sell and downsize. You\u2019ll be paying realtor fees and property transfer taxes, but you should have accumulated enough equity to cushion potential expenses and losses. Remember that after the housing bubble burst in 2008, property values did recover. We humans tend to focus on avoiding risk<\/a> more than we consider the opportunity for gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.    \nA co-buyer or significant other is adding to the\npressure. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making a major purchase alone is one thing;\npleasing two people is another! If you are co-buying, you\u2019ll need to think\nabout the vesting<\/a>\nquestion. And it\u2019s wise to consider whether you could comfortably continue to\nown and maintain the house should you separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival tips:<\/strong> Decide, before you\nstart home hunting, how the costs and bills are going to be paid. Be careful\nnot to overextend yourself to please your partner. Agree to your limits, and\nfirmly agree to support each other in that mission. If that\u2019s not possible now,\nwait until you\u2019re on stronger financial footing to buy a home together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.    \nSigns of buyer\u2019s remorse start appearing. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal to second-guess yourself after\nchoosing your home, especially if you\u2019re a first-time buyer\u2019s learning curve. Buyer\u2019s\nremorse usually passes as you get used to your new place and imbue it with your\nown personality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival tips:<\/strong> No home is perfect. As\nyou look at homes for sale, keep notes on what you like and what you\u2019d rather\navoid. Go for the house you can afford, with the best overall blend of\ncharacter traits. Pay attention to the inspection and buy in a desirable area. Keep\nyour new home in great condition, and you\u2019ll grow to love it, or be in the\nposition to sell when the right time comes. It\u2019s your call.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honey, I\u2019m Home!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may never feel perfectly ready. Sometimes, a move simply\nmust be made quickly, and there\u2019s little time to gather advice and analysis. Placing\nrespected local professionals in your corner can be the key to getting you\nthrough these situations unscathed. Lean on knowledgeable people who\u2019ll guide\nyou through the checklists, point out potential red flags, and negotiate for a\nhome and a loan on your behalf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve taken the plunge, be confident in your decision to be a homeowner and invest in your future<\/a>. Welcome home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
