This week with Doug Crouse, we're discussing common mistakes people make when buying a house, especially their first one. The biggest mistake is shopping for homes without securing financing. Getting a pre-approval is crucial as it gives sellers confidence in your offer. It’s not a quick process, so plan ahead.

Another common error is neglecting to thoroughly research the neighborhood. Location is vital; a great house in a bad area can lead to regret. Also, remember that no house is perfect. Focus on finding a home that meets most of your needs, and be open to making improvements over time.

Lastly, when viewing multiple houses, use a process of elimination to narrow down your choices. Compare each new house to your favorite so far, making it easier to decide.
