Assuming that they can afford the monthly mortgage payments, overestimating the market value of their home, and underestimating the additional costs of owning a home.
When buying a property, it's important to remember that there are many additional costs to consider such as repairs, renovations, taxes, and insurance. Additionally, you should always budget for unplanned events such as a broken pipe or a major repair bill.
It's also important to be realistic about the market value of your home. Just because you paid a high price for your home doesn't mean that it will sell for an equally high price. Be sure to check recent sale prices in your area to get an accurate estimate of your home's worth.
