Question

Is it normal to be incredibly nervous when buying your first home??

Answer 1

The first time I bought a house I didn't sleep for a week before closing and for three days after.

Answer 2

Yes.  I bought my first home about 3 years ago and it was terrifying.  But well worth it.

Answer 3

I guess so, It is a big change in your life.... Hope you like it!!! good luck!!

Answer 4

Yes. It is a final commitment and possibly a retirement asset. Just remember that you have to pay taxes and insurances and maintenence and repairs like roofing and other things. But I guess if you like the thought of having a permanent nesting ground, then go for it. Oh, by the way. I have a house here in Florida I wll give you an awesome deal on.

Answer 5

Yes, it is.  I work in property conveyances, and one thing my boss always tells clients is there are no silly questions.  We do this every day, but when you're a first-time home buyer it is most likely the biggest financial decision you've ever made.  If you're getting a mortgage, be sure you have calculated all the costs, legal costs, taxes on the home, taxes on the realtor, insurance for both the home and, if its a high-ratio mortgage, insurance on the mortgage, mortgage broker fees, survey certificates that some lenders may require, are all extras and we've had people come in thinking everything was arranged and then finding they were short of cash.

I don't mean to scare you, hope it didn't sound that way, just trying to prepare you.  That said, good luck with it and hope everything works out.
