Do you want to know the one thing most buyers lie about?

It’s not the price…  It’s timing. Most people will tell me, “Yeah, we’re just looking. We’re in no rush.”
The reality? Families are running on fumes. Toddlers screaming. Teens slamming doors. Dogs chewing anything soft. Back-to-school chaos hitting like a freight train. And here you are, trying to cram in listing scrolling too!
The “perfect time” to buy? It doesn’t exist. It’s a myth sold to calm your nerves. Waiting makes you think you’re safe. And while you’re waiting life keeps moving, and houses disappear.  Most buyers don’t realize this: it’s not just the listings that move fast, it’s the lifestyle windows.
Schools, work schedules, daycare spots, even little things like bus routes or your dog’s walking routine. They all dictate whether a house actually works for your life.  That’s what most agents don’t mention: a house isn’t just bricks and rooms. It’s how it fits your daily chaos.
Do you know how I know life doesn’t wait? This little man in the pic? He’s heading to university this weekend.  One minute you’re wrangling toddlers, packing lunches, dodging spilled juice… and the next, they’re moving out, and you’re left wondering where the time went.
So stop lying to yourself. Admit it, you’re stressed about home life and a home that actually fits your life could fix that.  Timing isn’t about money. It’s about your life. Your kids’ routines. Your sanity.
Life moves fast. Your perfect home won’t wait.
