Do You Hesitate to Make a Purchase Offer?

If the home you are thinking about buying is likely to quickly sell, and if you have a way to later cancel the contract, you should immediately make a purchase offer. Don't sleep on it or try to get every single question answered beforehand or you may very well lose the home. Somebody else could beat you to the draw and steal it out from under your nose while you're busy weighing the pros and cons.

If you like the home, odds are several other active home buyers will, too. You're not the only smart cookie in the market place who can spot an excellent buy.

And no, losing the home doesn't mean it was "supposed to be that way." Consider instead that you were supposed to buy it, and you messed up.
