How to Cope With a Difficult Home Search

The truth is, many Canadian provinces are out of reach. This is true especially for first-time buyers. But don’t let that stop you. Here’s some advice.

Don’t take it personally. It doesn’t have to do with you. Some of these hot markets make it hard to land your first choice.

Amend your “must have” list. You may be disappointed because your expectations are too high. Evaluate your “must haves” and “nice to haves.” There’s a home out there for you.

Keep progress on the down low. Constantly sharing might build up stress. Go quiet on social media about your home-buying process. Wait until you’ve closed and then celebrate!

It’s a game of patience. Stay the course and manage your expectations.
