This may sound obvious, but here it is anyway. Salt Lake City home buyers should look within their pre-approved price range.
Here are some of the reasons I can think of:
-
Why waste your time looking at Utah homes you can’t afford?
-
Sometimes Salt Lake City home buyers qualify for more than they really want to spend. What will you cut back in your budget for that more expensive home?
-
You might miss out on a home within your price range that you didn’t see because you were wasting your time looking at ones you can’t afford.
-
Why set yourself up for disappointment looking at homes you can’t afford?
-
Sellers go out of their way to allow you to see their home, why inconvenience them? If it’s an open house and you’re actively looking, take a look.
-
Looking at homes is not a sport or a hobby. Go ride a bike, read a book, go to a movie and have fun!
-
OK honestly, I can see if you can afford $200,000 that you might look at Utah homes up to $210,000 for purposes of negotiation, but beyond that probably not.
