Buyers Remorse
Have you ever bought something and then worried about whether or not
you should have done it? This is really a common experience and is known
as buyer's remorse. Even though it is not unusual, it causes distress when
it occurs. Here are some typical symptoms of buyer's remorse:
"I PAID TOO MUCH"
After all the negotiating is done, the buyer begins to wonder if he or
she could have gotten the property for less. This is often aggravated by
a well meaning friend or relative who thinks you paid too much when compared
to what he or she paid for their home. Remember, every piece of real estate
is unique and cannot be compared on an apple-for-apple basis with any other
property.
"I ACTED TOO QUICKLY"
Sometimes people get so wrapped up emotionally in buying a home that
they need to come down from the euphoria of getting their dream home. Two
or three days after the purchase, buyers may begin to question various aspects
of the transaction including timing. "Did I act in haste?" "Should I have
thought it over longer?" It is not unusual to feel you moved too fast. At
a time like this, rely on your instincts. You bought because you felt it
was the right thing to do.
"I DIDN'T SEE ENOUGH HOMES"
After the purchase, a buyer often begins to think about the shortcomings
of the property. Perhaps the master bedroom is not quite as large as originally
desired. Or, more decorating may be required. If you find yourself having
these feelings, it is essential that you recognize that there is no such
thing as a perfect house. You bought this property because of its strengths
and you will have to , as in all purchases, accommodate yourself to its
shortcomings. Every home has them.
ADVICE: Buyer's remorse is normal and usually occurs in some form.
The best way to feel good about a real estate purchase is to use the services
