I saw an interesting story online about how you should take the emotion out of buying a home…I’m not sure that’s possible and I’m not sure you should. Let’s discuss.

Thoughts
1. So the idea here is that we are in a competitive market, and you shouldn’t let your emotions get the better of you. I agree with that up to a certain point. But let’s take a look at the range of emotions one may go through in the home buying process …it’s actually pretty intense
A. Enjoyment
1. Happiness: You may feel happiness a few times during the home buying process. The happiest you should feel is when you finally get the keys to your new home.
2. Relief: The relief comes when you start working with an agent you can trust, and then again when you have a home inspector go through the house and things look good
3. Contentment: There’s nothing like the feeling of waking up in your new house the first night you stay in it.
4. Joy Joy comes into play a few times during the process. Finding a house you’d actually like to make an offer on, getting a house under contract, getting the keys…all joy
5. Pride: It’s kind of fun to watch people who buy houses start to work on them, clean them, and make improvements. The sense of pride during this time is high.
6. Excitement: I feel like the sense of excitement never stops from the moment you decide you are going to buy your home to the time when you move in. There’s just this energy….
7. Peace: I don’t see a lot of peace during the process, but there is a sense of peace when the deal is closed.
8. Satisfaction: Satisfaction shows up when you have some idea of what you want in a house and when you then actually see them in the market. There are houses out there for you and you feel that sense of satisfaction.
B. Sadness
1. heartbroken: It’s usually when you lose out to someone else’s offer for a home. One of the worst feelings during the process.
2. Gloomy: If the process isn’t going as you thought it would, doom and gloom sets in. This makes finding a home tough because you are in a negative state of mind
3. disappointed: Disappointed you aren’t finding a house, disappointed that houses are so darn expensive, disappointed that the process isn’t going as smoothly as you thought.
4. hopeless: I have buyers who become hopeless. It’s terribly destructive to the process because when you are hopeless, you don’t do the things necessary to find a house.
5. Unhappy: You are going to be unhappy during the process. You may have a seller who is a jerk, a seller’s agent who is a jerk..there might be paperwork snafus….definitely going to be unhappy.
6. lost: I definitely get a sense that some buyers feel lost. After all, the process is overwhelming. Especially in this market, you are constantly competing with many other offers. Add to that you may not know what part of town you want to live in, and your friends may be finding homes while you aren’t. This can all lead to a sense of loss.
7. resigned: I don’t necessarily look at being resigned as a bad thing. I’ve noticed some husbands just check out after about a month and they look to their wives to just make a decision…any decision. The husbands are resigned to the search.
8. Miserable: Buying a house can be a miserable experience. It’s like you’re not even a person…looking for houses, some of which, you’d never buy. Kind of like a trip to the dentist.
