The home buying process doesn’t have to be stressful. If you have the right team of professionals and set your expectations appropriately, you can buy a house without the anxiety. It’s definitely possible. But since buying a house involves large sums of money and decisions about your future, it’s also totally normal to feel a little on edge. In fact, according to one recent survey, most recent home buyers said they felt stressed during the home buying process. Among respondents, 65 percent said so – with too few homes for sale and shifting mortgage rates among the top factors cited as having had a negative impact. But while it’s true that market challenges and affordability factors can cause headaches for hopeful home shoppers, they certainly haven’t dimmed buyers’ positivity. For example, the same survey found a majority of participants think now is a good time to buy a home. (source)
