I am amazed people are making a $200,000 or $400,000 decision, but don’t spend $1000 for a trip to see the house.
When we bought our previous house my sister and her hubs went to a few homes for us and we video conferenced as they walked through. (We had been here multiple times so we did know the areas somewhat.) Our sellers were willing to give us (in writing) ten days to fly down and view the property in person (and cancel with no penalty). In a hot market I don't know that many sellers would agree to that but ours did and it worked out for us.
