Choosing from many choices!

For those of us who grew up in the pre internet age, our brains are wired to select from very few choices. 3 channels of TV, 2 favorite high powered AM music stations, black coffee or with milk, Ford or Chevy... Do you want cheese on that burger???  Alas, in 2012, we are inundated with limitless choices for everything!!! In a very real sense, the extreme--- and I mean extreme, amount of choices the average person must make in a day is both overwhelming and empowering.  How nice...I get to pick what I want on my burger from 77 combinations, 50,000 movies on netflix, 77,000,000 websites on any topic...etc... Exhausting to say the least..:)

When searching for the home of your dreams however, the choices for the RIGHT house must be picked from the current, yet shifting inventory of available homes. The greater Binghamton marketplace may have a total of 1500-2000 possibilities.  However when matching YOUR NEEDS (things you must have) and YOUR WANTS(things that may be NICE to have) and filtered by your location, acceptable condition, and your financial range for occupancy cost, will typically result in your choice of a few, 1-4 Right houses.  Since you usually are not the only active buyer in that narrowed, filtered range, please don't be surprised when after viewing the 1-4 of your best choices, that just as you are pondering your VERY important decision... someone else may beat you to the home.  Houses come and go every day and no matter what the national news is saying, the Greater Binghamton market always comes down to the SPECIFIC house not the national trend.

Moral of the story....

1. Clarify what if most IMPORTANT for you and yours,

2. sort the possibilities,

3. do an educational tour,

4. match your wants and needs,

5. get pre approved from bank, and...

6. be decisive in your choices!

You will know it is the RIGHT house when all those involved, are nodding their heads... yep this is good!
