Ready for the final step in your homebuying journey? Step 10 reveals why even the most well-meaning advice from experienced homeowners could derail your 2025 house hunt - and shows you exactly where to find the current market insights you actually need.

Quote: "Your best play is more time in the market, not trying to time the market."

Highlights:

• What if everything you've heard about buying a home from friends and family is based on an entirely different market reality than today's?
• Could your dream of homeownership be closer than you think, especially with new 2025 down payment assistance programs?
• Is it possible that waiting for the "perfect time" to buy is actually costing you money in today's low-inventory market?
• What makes location, timing, and timing (not location, location, location) the true mantra for first-time homebuyers?
• How can you take advantage of current market conditions that change weekly, sometimes even daily?
• Could you be missing out on massive opportunities, like the new Southern California grant offering $20,000-$50,000 to first-time buyers?
