VIDEO: How many homes should you view before making an offer?

Posted on: Tuesday, November 21, 2017

Looking for your perfect property can be an exciting, but how many should you view before choosing your favourite and making an offer?

If the first home that you look at seems perfect, it can be tempting to keep looking around to make sure there is nothing better out there. Be wary, though. You could look for weeks and not find anything as good, and someone could put an offer on the first house in the meantime. It's better to schedule multiple viewings on the same day so you can easily compare and contrast. That way, you know you're making the right decision, even if it's the first property you looked at.

Is there a right number of properties to look at before making an offer? It's different for everyone. Some may fall in love straight away, while others can find themselves looking for a dream home that is too specific and may not exist in their price bracket. Be realistic and make compromises if you have to.

Not sure if a property you’ve seen onlineis worth a viewing? Go for it. A picture is worth a thousand words, but nothingcompares to the real look and feel of a property.

Customers Say

The team were awesome throughout all aspects of the house purchase (Wendy, Nikki & Tom) especially as we needed a quick completion (under a month from viewing to moving in). Every question was answered and they were always super responsive and never left us hanging. I would thoroughly recommend from the purchase side and therefore from the selling side, as assuming the vendors of the property we purchased were thankful for a quick turnaround too. Thank you team H&O.
