6. Buying and selling is not easy
Real estate transactions can be stressful, in fact, many people believe that buying or selling a home is more stressful than going through bankruptcy or divorce! In most cases, a home for sale can be expected to stay on the market for about a month, which certainly could be worse, but it can get stressful having potential buyers traipsing through your house when it’s time to sell. You also cannot expect that you will find someone willing to pay your asking price. More than 35 percent of home sellers report that they lowered their asking price at least once before making the sale.
