What if...
The impact of this little two-word question goes farther than we have room to talk about yet is as common as a quarter for most of our minds. It's a very normal question for sure but for some reason it always seems to carry a touch of fear and concern.
How you answer this question when it crops up will many times determine what you do next. For this reason I wanted to remind you of a very important reality. For every disconcerting "What if," there is an equal and opposite "What if" filled with hope and good expectation.
"What if property values tank?" Well what if the value of property increases? Or how about, "What if I buy now and then the interest rates go down?" Well it's possible but what if you buy now just before the interest rates hike up some more? The questions "What if something bad happens?" and "What if something good happens?" are, you see, two sides of the same coin. It's all in how you choose to look at them.
The key is to not let your fears make your decisions for you. With some careful research and the help of a good realtor you can answer your real estate "What ifs..." with a much better feel for what could possibly or will probably happen next. You can have confidence to take that next step without losing sleep, wondering what if...
So go ahead and think of your concerns. Then think about your positive potentials. Do your research and talk to your realtor. You can make a quality decision that allows you to move forward with an expectation of good things to come.
