You may have heard of FOMO (the Fear of Missing Out), but have you ever felt FOBO, or the Fear of a Better Option, during your home search? This catchy phrase wasn’t coined by the Mad City Dream Homes team, but is a common stumbling block for many buyers. It can be intimidating to commit to making an offer when glossy online real estate photos, HGTV, or social media make you feel like something “better” is right around the corner.

The truth is, no home is perfect. But there is a home out there that is perfect for each buyer’s timeline, financial plan, and lifestyle goals. This is not to say there is a reason to rush your search or settle for something that doesn’t suit your needs. However, a realistic and proactive mindset can help you achieve your real estate goals. And, your Mad City Dream Homes agent is here to help.
