Okay buyers, I know it’s like being a kid in the candy store when you are out looking in today’s market.  There are plenty of choices.  However, there is no reason to look at every home for sale in your price range.   You are NOT going to find the perfect one – every house has trade-offs and it’s a matter of weighing the features important to you.   Psychologists and economists have studied the issue of too many choices and have concluded that an overload of options may actually paralyze people.  Buyers fear that whatever they select, the other option would have been better.  Research shows that an excess of choices leads us to be less, not more, satisfied once we actually decide.  According to the 2013 National Association of REALTORS® Profile of Buyers & Sellers, the typical buyer viewed 10 homes during their home search process.  If you are spending hours researching and have looked at way more than 10 houses, it’s time to stop and focus.  And be happy with what you decide!  If you need help in focusing, then give me a call.  As an Accredited Buyers’ Representative, I will put my years of experience to work for you.  donna@donnaforest.com, www.donnaforest.com, 603-526-4116.
