My offer was accepted, and now I'm second-guessing everything. What if this is a huge mistake? Is a bit of buyer's remorse normal, or is my gut trying to tell me something?

Normal to feel anxious with this bug of a purchase - likely the most money you’ll commit to in one day your entire life. But give yourself a couple days to sleep on it and trust your gut (and the inspection)

Being scared after committing to a huge purchase like this is normal, especially if you've never done it before. Make sure you understand the contract and what your "outs" are. The biggest is usually the inspection.

But congratulations on the new place. If it's within your budget and meets your needs, it's not a HUGE mistake. And it's not forever. Unless you want it to be.

Good luck with the process.

Congrats! It’s the buyers market if you can afford the rates! I am closing on a house next week and I still get cold feet while I’m super excited about it. You got this!

Not a buyers market everywhere. Depending on where OP is it could still be a hugely sellers market and they are worried they overbid/overpaid. Or not, just saying your market is not everyone’s market

I felt the same way! I was panicking that I just made the biggest most expensive mistake of my life! But it all turned out great. We got the house and we couldn’t be happier having a place to call ours. I think what you are feeling is completely normal you are about to spend the most money on a single item so far in your life. Education aside. It’s scary. I remember thinking what if there’s something wrong with the house what if we can’t handle it what if we default on the loan? So many things all at once.

Congratulations on getting this massive step but you are far from the end a lot can happen during the closing period. Our journey was not smooth but we made it and we had a great team fighting for us.

Additional Posts in First Time Home Buyer

My partner bought a new truck earlier this month. We’re hoping to joint-purchase our first home next spring. Is there a “best” time to get pre-approved for a mortgage? When should we start the home buying process?

So far we’ve kept our head in the realtor apps to see what the market is doing.

Rent just went up, pressure is on!

Would like some thoughts on a 2-br NYC condo my husband and I are considering. $250K HHI (no kids). No loans or debts, both have newish cars fully paid off.

Offer would be for $725K, with 10 percent down. 30yr mortgage @5%. We would need to include closing costs in the mortgage, to keep about $10k liquid. Monthly costs will be about $5k.

This unit is special, very rare (we’ve rented in the area for 10 yrs and know the local market well). Should we go for it?

Seeking some advice for home buying. Went under contract on a new construction back in March, was originally supposed to be ready in August but has been delayed until November. I’ve began getting quotes for mortgage rates through lenders and the best I’ve seen so far is 5.75% (excellent credit, dp at 10%) at a 60 day lock.
