How Smart Buyers Save Thousands When Purchasing a Home
If you’re like most home buyers, you probably have two main goals:
2️⃣ Buy that home for the best possible price 💰
Buyers who consistently purchase homes for thousands of dollars below asking price tend to share something in common. While strong negotiation skills matter, the biggest savings actually come from decisions made long before an offer is ever written.
🚀 3 Essential Steps to Buying the Right Home for the Right Price
🧭 1. Know Your Needs vs. Your Wants
This sounds simple, but many buyers skip this step — and regret it later.
When shopping for a home, two properties are often competing for your attention:
-
🏠 The home that meets your practical needs
-
❤️ The home that appeals to your emotions and desires
Ask yourself:
-
Is a larger home for future growth more important than a beautiful kitchen? 🍽️
-
Is a big backyard more valuable than being close to your child’s school? 🌳🎒
-
Are you buying for lifestyle… or long-term livability?
✨ Pro Tip: Always satisfy your needs first. If a home also fulfills your wants, that’s a bonus.
🔍 2. Use a Buyer Profile System (Not Guesswork)
Ask whether your agent offers a Buyer Profile System or House-Hunting Service.
This type of system:
-
📊 Matches your exact criteria with ALL available homes
-
⏱️ Saves time by filtering out poor fits
-
📬 Sends ongoing, up-to-date listings automatically
This keeps emotion in check and helps you buy with confidence.
📝 3. Build Your Personal Buying Strategy
Before viewing homes, take a few minutes to write this down:
✔️ What I Absolutely NEED in My Next Home
1.
2.
⭐ What I Would LOVE in My Next Home
1.
2.
This clarity alone can save you thousands of dollars 💵.
💡 How Sellers Set Their Asking Price (And How You Can Benefit)
