Buying a home is a serious step. One common mistake buyers and sellers make is not being emotionally prepared to make an offer on a home.

Some buyers can spend a couple of years getting their finances in order. Then they get their loan approved and look at homes with a real estate agent. Finally, they find the house of their dreams, and what happens? They want to sleep on it, or pray on it, or get a family member's opinion before they make on offer.

The reality is that in this market, if you snooze, you lose. Correctly priced properties are just flying off the market. You have to be emotionally prepared to make that decision and make an offer. Look at homes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays if you are ready to make an offer. Weekends are the worst time to make an offer because a lot of other buyers are out there and you are almost guaranteed to wind up in a multiple offer situation.
