It's a weird time to be a home buyer... in oh, so many ways!

But here's one of them...

Perhaps you are going to spend $300,000 on the home that you hope to purchase this year... or $400,000... or $500,000... or even more.

Given current market dynamics, this might be how you experience this home that you are going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars purchasing...

[1]  See the new listing online.

[2]  Drive by, slowing down, looking like a stalker.

[3]  Frantically call or text your Realtor to set up a time to see the house.

[5]  You'll have to make an offer quickly, so no time for a second showing.

[6]  You're competing with several other offers, so no chance of including an inspection contingency.

[7]  Diligently work through the buying process with your Realtor, lender and title company.

[8]  Walk through your home one last time -- oh wait, for just the second time -- on the morning of your closing.

[9]  Attend closing and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for the home in which you have only spent less than an hour of time thus far.

[10]  Move in, really get to know your home, and fall in love with it!? Hopefully!?  ;-)

The point is... in this fast moving, competitive market... most buyers will find themselves needing to make a decision about a very LARGE purchase very QUICKLY when that "perfect enough" house hits the market!
