Some common mistakes that homebuyers make include:

1.Not getting pre-approved for a mortgage before shopping for a home

2.Failing to consider the long-term costs of homeownership, such as property taxes and maintenance expenses.

3.Not having a clear idea of their own needs and wants in a home.

4.Not shopping around for the best mortgage rate and terms

5.Failing to get a home inspection before purchasing.

6.Not having a contingency plan for unexpected expenses

7.Not considering the location and potential for appreciation

8.Focusing too much on the short-term and not thinking about the long-term potential of the property

9.Not having a realistic budget and overstretching financially to buy a home.

10.Not working with a real estate agent or not finding the right one who can guide through the process.
