Firsts are exciting...sometimes a bit scary...and also filled with emotions you've likely are not accustomed to feeling. And buying that first home is no exception. On the one hand, it's easy to think that, since buying a home is something that people do every single day of the year it can't really be all that complicated, while on the other hand it IS a lot of money. Is it the right house? The right price? The right time?
