Your offer has just been accepted. Congratulations--you
are about to become a homeowner!
Your initial euphoria may be short-lived, however,
as you begin to have second thoughts about the purchase.
First, it's the mortgage. It seems like so much
money, and it will take twenty five years to pay off. You look
over the cash you will need for the closing and feel like you
will never be able to afford another holiday.
Finally, you stare at the Home Buyers Survey and
convince yourself that the roof will blow off and the boiler
will blow up the day after you move in.
You're in a frenzy. You ask yourself, "What have
I done?" The best thing to do if you begin having "second" thoughts
is just relax!
These feelings are so common that they have even
been given a name--"Buyer's Remorse."
"Buyer's Remorse" is almost always a temporary
malady, but call us if you are having an extreme attack.
We have experience in helping our clients through
the home-buying jitters.
Seller's Remorse
After just a
week on the market, We find you a terrific offer to purchase
your house--it is less than the asking price, but more than
you expected.
The buyers were
reasonable and well qualified. After talking with your agent,
you decide to accept the offer.
After the agent
leaves, you start thinking about what you have just done and
feel terrible.
You wonder if
you acted too quickly--maybe you should have waited for a better
offer.
You fear that
the buyers will let your garden go to seed or pull down all
the beautiful wallpaper that you just put up.
These fears
are such a common phenomena that they have been given a name--"seller's
remorse"!
It is perfectly
normal to feel this way, especially if you are selling a home
where you have lived for many years and which holds many memories.
"Seller's remorse"
is almost always temporary. It is quickly replaced by the excitement
of moving into your new home
