Buying real estate: should you trust his favorite?
When you start an immo purchase, the danger is not to take the time to properly calibrate your project. For example, it is common to go too fast on a home heart stroke without knowing if it will be in his budget. Finding your house or apartment is a long journey full of pitfalls. Falling under the spell of a good can be double-edged. This article outlines the advantages and disadvantages and answers this question: should we trust his crush?
The crush can be the decisive element
Commitment to an immo purchase can be difficult to assume because it is possible to be worried in view of the amounts involved. If you are demanding on your selection and want the perfect house or apartment, having a crush on the first visit of the property will make your decision easier! When you embark on a life project as impacting as an immo purchase, it is important to feel comfortable in your future environment. The house "love at first sight" can also expand your research by letting you seduced by areas or places that you had not necessarily thought. Indeed, it is sometimes more comfortable to live in an accommodation where you really like to go for a 5 or 10-minute trip more, rather than being very conveniently located, but in a housing where you does not really feel at home.
The favorite must be controlled
If it is often essential to provoke a purchase, the favorite for a good must at all costs be controlled. We advise you, for example, to always make several visits , if possible at different times, to be sure of wanting to position yourself on the accommodation. It is indeed necessary to confirm his first good impression with a second visit that may show some flaws, but that will make you more lucid about the price to pay and your real desire to live in this housing.
Often, a trendy and modern decoration or a high-quality renovation can immediately create a "house coup de coeur" effect and thus favor the act of purchase. Only homeowners who have done this work tend to reflect this effect in the selling price of the property and you may pay more than the market price. The crush for an environment (neighborhood, parks nearby, location in relation to the main points of interest of the city, quiet ...) is sometimes more important in terms of value than the crush for an interior that necessarily depends on tastes and colors. Thus, you will be more likely not to overpay a dwelling if you rely on the outside environment and not the interior, provided you learn about the various development projects envisaged with the mayor or the community common for example. The layout of an interior is personal and therefore the relative translated financial value.
In addition, a favorite house can depreciate over time depending on the materials used during the renovation or depending on the level of maintenance you are willing to devote to it. A tip, consider this at the time of the financial proposal, because you should not overpay the property, even if you already feel comfortable.
The favorite house or the apartment "cocooning" are still decisive in an immo purchase. It is indeed difficult to make an offer without a crush. Nevertheless, it is better to remain vigilant on the impact of the decor on your price offer. Counter visits, possibly accompanied and at different times to see the exhibitions during the day, will enlighten you on the right price. The rule is always the same when it comes to buying real estate. Unless you know your criteria for surface, location and market price, do not rush!
