Hi Susie. There is no right answer for your question. I can tell you I have had several buyers over the years kick themselves for not jumping on one of the first homes they looked at. Nothing else compared. I think it is normal to wonder “will I like something else more?” My best advice is do some searching online beforehand to get a feel for what you are looking for in a home and what area you want. Also, the going price for the style of home you are looking for. Then, make an offer on what you can see yourself in for the foreseeable future. Good luck!

Susie, many times buyers will find the home they want in the first couple they see BUT we continue to view homes, especially in this market to make sure. Lots of the homes we see are to confirm the one we thought we liked in the first place. I have seldom sold a home to a buyer in the last 17 years that they loved 100% of the home. It this market you can be picky. Find the right location with the most items for your want/need list. You will make it your own:). Happy shopping!

I always recommend viewing at least 3 homes in person before making an offer. But that might be in one day and you have found a home meets the majority of your wants and needs. But for other buyers it will take much longer. Rest assured, no property is perfect. Find a property that fits your needs and excites you and go for it! :)
