Is moving to a new house part of your plans in the very near future? If it is, then you will already know how stressful just thinking about it can be.  So, what if you find a property that is perfect for you and your household, but it is a home in high demand and there are multiple offers on it.  This would indeed be very stressful, and you might even resort to skipping important parts of the home buying process just to have a better chance of acquiring the property.  Maybe you feel like you could skip the home inspection, but is that a good idea? Is a home inspection truly optional?
Even with a property that’s in high demand it’s good to think about your long-term needs, after all, this is still a huge investment.
