They Rushed to Buy in the Pandemic. Here’s What They Would Change.
 
A frenzied sellers’ market led some people to make harried decisions when buying their homes that they now regret.
 
For nearly two years, home buyers have been shopping in conditions ripe for regret. Prices have soared, inventory has plunged and competition has been brutal in markets across the country. With fixer-uppers fetching multiple offers, buyers must make snap decisions about what is often the biggest financial investment of their lives.
 
Invariably, someone makes a choice they wish they hadn’t.
