And, you know, you said that with the agent that they don't even know your requirements completely and they're not completely clear on what you're looking for.

So I would do that both for yourself and for your agent so that they can be on the lookout and be really actively looking for you.

And then for you personally,

to go, man, okay, if a house comes out and it's not, and it's 1,500 square feet versus 2,000 square feet, the square footage isn't as important to me.

I'm willing to go down on that.

That's going to be at the top of that list.

And another important part of that conversation is just, and this is kind of a hard conversation, is just grieving what the market was.

You said that you have a tough time.

You're like, man, I wish I would have bought, but then letting that go and going, okay, like this is the market now, and these are the requirements I can afford, and just kind of figuring out what you can be content with.

Yes.

I don't know about that.

I am so sad I missed that.

Hi, so I am a newlywed.

I'm 25.

My husband is turning 28 this year.

And we recently bought a house.

We owe $400,000 on it.

We make gross $150,000 a year.

And I have a very large stretch goal of paying off our house in about five years by the time I'm 30.
