We saw so many pictures online and you would not believe how differently they looked when we got inside! Now, I would suggest trying to take off any rose colored glasses you may have on and just take a minute and decide if you can make the home work or if it will be too much effort.Mattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012568320731133719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206857039726574880.post-67053729825003910392015-01-25T23:10:23.675+00:002015-01-25T23:10:23.675+00:00Wise words.

It's scary and exciting - I know I'm likely to get impatient and stressed, so I'll be keeping your tips in my mind. :)Leanne at This Little Space of Minehttp://www.thislittlespaceofmine.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206857039726574880.post-15164186573239219572015-01-22T20:52:39.310+00:002015-01-22T20:52:39.310+00:00I couldn't agree more.

That is something you can only approximate through the most rigorous ocular inspections, which I hope you are being meticulous about. Anyway, thanks for sharing that! I wish you all the best with your house search!<br /><br /><a href="https://indymarkethomes.wordpress.com/2014/11/29/well-help-you-find-your-dream-among-houses-for-sale-in-indianapolis/" rel="nofollow">Devin Newton @ Indy Market Homes</a> Devin Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543172078992964159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206857039726574880.post-68168643929660757112015-01-22T16:39:17.153+00:002015-01-22T16:39:17.153+00:00I was totally cynical about the whole "I just...I was totally cynical about the whole "I just know" moment when it came to buying a house... until I walked into the house that became mine and "just knew". It had horrible yellow walls and wasn't in the perfect area, but I fell head over heels in love and have remained so for six years. jbistheinitialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868282285690501258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206857039726574880.post-66275836399958145962015-01-21T22:39:54.203+00:002015-01-21T22:39:54.203+00:00We brought our first house last year so all the st...We brought our first house last year so all the stress is still fresh in my mind. <br /><br />I'd say one of my tips would be to get in touch with a mortgage adviser before you start looking so you're fully away of your top budget, plus they work with a lot of realtors so they can point you in a the direction of some great ones - that's how we found ours and never looked back. <br /><br />You're right about the feeling, it certainly came when we finally found the house we ended up buying. I think first time buyers especially can get a little to constricted in their list of must haves, while it's nice and great if you get your perfect house, you have to know what you're willing to compromise on, and your first house probably won't have everything you want/need but it gets you on the property ladder that might make those possibilities more real in the future. <br /><br />We actually ended up buying a house in a location we originally ruled out and it's an area that others would probably rule out because of it's closeness to Detroit, until you actually go there, visit across different times and see it for yourself don't rule anything/any place out.

We really need to get a move on though as we've mostly just been saving for a deposit. I have to admit the "wow we can afford more than we thought" line made me laugh.

We saw a few houses that looked a lot better in the photographs than in real life but we found the 'the one' which actually didn't look all that great in the photographs. It's just stressful now waiting for everything to finally go through! xSarah @Daydreams of Summertimehttp://www.daydreamsofsummertime.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
