It has been said that purchasing a home is one of the three most stressful events in a lifetime. Why is that? Suppose you found your dream home the first day you started looking. Suppose you knew in advance that the seller would accept your offer. You also knew that your current home would sell the same day you made the offer on your new home. You knew ahead of time that your loan would be approved, that you would receive the best possible rate, and that you could afford the payments, taxes, and insurance. Suppose you knew that the movers would show up on time, that nothing would get damaged or broken, and that your move would be completed by 5:00pm. Would buying a home then be stressful?
