The most common mistakes first home buyers make
Being a first home buyer in this market is hard. You’ve got your parents’ friends telling you to give up the smashed avocado because you’ll never afford a house when you go for brunch every weekend. Then you’ve got people telling you you’ve got the upper hand when after 30 open homes you’re really not feeling it.
We see the same mistakes come up over and over again with first home buyers, so here they are for you to learn from. Take some notes because JB talks fast, and you might get distracted by Jack, the dog.
