5 Common Reasons for Real Estate Buyer’s Remorse

5 Common Reasons for Real Estate Buyer’s Remorse

You must have some sympathy for the people who go through the taxing, stressful process of buying a house, and then end regretting it. Buyer’s remorse – the sensation that you’ve made a mistake – is a real issue, and it’s not hard to see why it causes so much agony. But if you’re one of those people in that situation, then don’t worry: all may not be lost. Nothing is absolute – and if you’ve got yourself into the uncomfortable situation of regretting the biggest financial decision you’ve ever made, then it’s important to keep in mind that you can also get yourself out. Below, we take a look at some of the common reasons for buyer’s remorse and offer some solutions.

You’re in the Wrong Neighborhood

You’re not just buying a property when you get a mortgage and commit to years of income for your house. In fact, the house is probably only 60% of what you’re buying. The rest is taken up by everything that’s around your property: the neighborhood! This will have a significant influence on how much you enjoy where you’re living. Indeed, there’s a reason why so many people advise you to spend a considerable amount of time exploring the area around your home. It influences so much!

Solution

Well, there are two solutions. The first is that you do as Jack Nicholson’s character from The Departed desires and ensure that “you are not a product of your environment. Your environment is a product of you.” That is, influence everything until you’re living in a community of your own creation. Now, this would be nice, but it’s also not realistic. You’re not going to change the culture of a neighborhood all on your own. So the other solution is: concentrate on the good, and get over the bad. There’s nowhere in the world that’s perfect – if you’re having problems here, then the answer doesn’t exist in the neighborhood over yonder. That’s got issues too! If you’re still looking for a house to buy, one of the best advice is to drive around the city and the neighborhood to get a feel of it and see if there are enough fun things for you to do there.

It’s Destroying Your Finances

Owning a house is not cheap. There’s a reason why it’s considered an achievement. It can take years to get to the financial situation that you need to be in to get your hands on the keys. And, of course, it doesn’t end when you’ve moved in. There are things that need to be replaced, updated, the heating breaks, and so on and so forth. It seems like there’s always one issue or another. It might not be long before you’re beginning to have serious doubts about how you’ll ever be able to keep up this rate of payments for years on end. An understandable concern.

Solution

Win the lottery! OK, we jest. Would be nice though, right? But seriously, the first thing to do is keep in mind that these expenses are not going to be there forever. There are usually a lot of additional costs that you haven’t factored in that crop up after you’ve first moved in. Once they’re taken care of, they might be out of your life forever! So don’t stress about those ones. If your mortgage is crippling you due to circumstances that were not present when you bought the house, then you can look into renegotiating your monthly payments. You don’t have to live with the terms that were set when you first bought your home forever.

The Style Isn’t To Your Taste

First impressions don’t always turn out to be correct. You might have loved – or thought you loved – the overall look and feel of the property when you first saw it, but now that it’s yours, you’re beginning to realize that it’s not really to your taste after all. What you thought was quaint and traditional now just looks dated. The modern design that caught your eye now seems to be a bit tacky, and not trend-setting at all. You think you’ve bought a dud, a house that looks terrible and which you’re going to have to live with until you decide to sell up…if anyone will take the cruddy looking property off your hands.

Solution

The solution is to remember that everything is possible, and nothing is static. So you don’t like the interior of the property, no worries! There’s a reason why whole home remodeling is a thing. It’s to help people who want to change every aspect of their house the opportunity to do so. You’re not locked into the style of the house that you bought. If you want to put your own spin on every aspect of the property, then you can. Refurbishing wooden floors is easier than you think!

That House Over There Is Nicer

You were excited about the property you were going to buy. It seemed to be nice enough, the area was good, the price was acceptable. Everything was good. But then, you were browsing the real estate listings page, and found a property that was nicer, better located, and cheaper. My oh my, what a fool you’ve been, to commit to this increasingly bland looking property when the perfect one was just on the next page of search results!

Solution

Slap yourself hard – you deserve it! OK, you don’t. But really, your mind is just playing tricks on you. It’s easy to see all the plus points of a property – or anything, actually – when you know there’s zero chance that it’s going to end up yours. It’s a classic case of “the grass is greener on the other side.” In reality, here’s what would happen if you were given a chance to undo your purchase and consider the other – you’d choose the one you already bought. Everyone only ever sees the plus points when they’re living in a fantasy land.

“It Just Doesn’t Feel Right”

We’re going to jump straight to the solution with this one. You’ve moved in, and it doesn’t feel right, sure…but only RIGHT NOW. Give yourself time to feel at home, make it yours, and build memories. You can take it from us – it will feel right if you give it a chance!

Don’t you just love it when the kitchen is clean Don’t you just love it when the kitchen is clean?

It only lasts about 2 hours in this house so I gotta snap a pic before it gets messed up again! 🤪🤣

If you haven’t upgraded your kitchen (and your life) with @caraway_home cookware then you’re missing out on the best non stick non toxic cookware on the market. 

Get rid of your Teflon 🙅🏼‍♀️

Ditch the chemicals 🤢

Throw out the ugly 😵

Don’t wait any longer to elevate your cooking with the most talked about, most loved cookware the world has ever seen. 

This cookware set has sold out 10+ times (the limited-edition color for Crate & Barrel
sold out in under 5 hours!) and the bakeware has barely been in stock since its launch! (So glad I got mine December!)

Head to my stories for the link to grab a discount on these sensational pans! 💃🏼

🚨STOP what you’re doing and read this! 👇🏻

You know how they say “Earth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

Read more about this belt in today's post on the blog! Link in bio.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) 💦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) 💦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

It’s always quite the effort to take a family picture, but even harder when you need to use a tripod! 🤣 This is the best we could do! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤪

“Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, the “Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.”
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ 

Let us not forget the significance of Good Friday. For on this day, Jesus was thinking about YOU!

We are already dreaming about going back to @story We are already dreaming about going back to @storylandnh! 🥳🤩

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon.
