On this Australian Property Podcast episode, Owen Rask and Amy Lunardi break down 5 of the most emotional traps people fall into when buying their property. Here's what you need to know: 1. Avoiding being too emotional and overpaying Need to have some emotion when buying a property Use this to factor into your ‘competitive buffer’ – how to figure this out (comparable sales plus x%) Where to draw a line in the sand With an investment less emotions (not zero) 2. The need for ‘social proof’ Do your research upfront to avoid self doubt later on 3. Allowing real estate agents/negotiations to impact your decision making Negative experiences with agents A negotiation not happening the way you expect it to 4. Waiting for ‘the one’ or ‘that feeling’ Doesn’t always happen this way (like online dating) Figure out what gives you ‘that feeling’ Focus on your non-negotiables 5.
