[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seeing 6+ houses a day is a blur. Seeing 40+ properties a week is a blur. If yours seeing that many properties and not circling back with an offer then yours just shopping around or gathering intel. So don’t complain that you haven’t bought anything.

If you’re serious about buying this Spring or before school starts, fine tune your process so youre not wasting so much time. Follow the market and pricing, understand how to make a property work for your needs or furniture, or if it cannot.

Only see ones that hit many of your desires. Otherwise, skip it. And put in decent offers if yours excited or could envision enjoying the house, yard and location! [/quote]

This is great advice except that there are dozens of houses that may appear on paper/photos/floor plans to hit all of someone's criteria and be a perfect fit for them, but are a total bust in person. For example, we ruled out any houses that backed up to main roads, but still saw some that on a map didn't appear to be main or busy roads, but in reality were very busy and loud. We wouldn't have known that if we hadn't visited those houses in person. Photos are also very deceiving. We visited a house recently where the laundry room on the floorplan and in photos appeared to be a separate room from the primary bathroom, but nope, that washer and dryer were literally right next to the toilet without any room to build even the thinnest wall/sliding door.[/quote]
