5 Dating Tips That Apply to Home Shopping<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are your home shoppers desperately trying to find \u201cthe one?\u201d Finding the perfect housing match can be like finding the perfect mate. For some Americans, this year\u2019s Valentine may come in the form of a home, filled with shiny new fixtures and a great first impression. But that search isn\u2019t always easy.<\/p>\n

In a recent article, realtor.com\u00ae highlights how home-shopping can feel a lot like dating.<\/p>\n

1. You need to have trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Americans seem to think they have a better chance at finding love than finding the perfect home. Fifty-two percent of home buyers believe they will find their dream home compared to 73 percent of Americans who believe they will find true love. While competition in the housing market is intense right now, home buyers shouldn\u2019t get disheartened.<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t take the first one you find.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Home buyers look at a median of 10 homes before making a purchase. In the search for love, a man will date, on average, six other people before choosing \u201cthe one,” while a woman typically dates five. Home buyers shouldn\u2019t be discouraged if the first few homes don\u2019t feel right to them. Sometimes it takes a few before finding the perfect match.<\/p>\n

3. Try finding an online connection first.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ninety-two percent of home buyers say they use the Internet during their housing search while 38 percent of single-Americans say they have used online or mobile dating services to find love. Does that make realtor.com\u00ae your Matchmaker.com? The majority of Americans surveyed about dating sites and mobile apps say that they find a better romantic match because of the wide range of potential partners they can access. Sounds like a good lesson for real estate too!<\/p>\n

4. First impressions do matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seventy-seven percent of home buyers say they\u2019ll know immediately when they\u2019ve found their ideal home; 52 percent of Americans believe in love at first sight when dating. Trust your hunch.<\/p>\n

5. Regrets happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eighty percent of home buyers have at least one major regret about their new home purchase; 72 percent of married women admit they\u2019ve considered leaving their husbands at some point. Home owners typically had buyer’s remorse when buying a home that was too small or didn’t have enough storage space, choosing a home near unpleasant neighbors, and purchasing in a bad school district. At least with real estate, your always a for-sale sign away from moving on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality, of course, is that neither homes nor relationships are ever truly perfect,\u201d realtor.com\u00ae\u2019s article notes. \u201cBut if you really work at understanding what you want and what you need, and taking the time to assess a variety of options, you\u2019re likely to find a pretty good fit. Maybe even one that will improve with time.\u201d<\/p>\n
