How do people who overthink every aspect of their life buy property? Iâm down in the Frankston/Seaford area today wondering if Iâm an idiot for even considering trying to buy down here. Do I just stick with what I know and continue to be possibly unhappy in an apartment in the inner city suburbs?

If itâs an area you want to move to but are not familiar with, maybe rent there for a while 1st. Also start going to lots of open houses and find out whatâs available in your price range, and what things youâre prepared to compromise on. Youâll gain knowledge of the market which will help when you actually want to buy.
Do give yourself grace about how youâre feeling - itâs a stressful process involving a lot of money, so of course youâre overthinking. Good luck!
