In this episode, Katy and Alissa dive into some of the most common home buying myths they hear from buyers and break down what's actually true. From the classic \"you need 20% down\" to the idea that new construction doesn't need an inspection, these myths can cause confusion, hesitation, and sometimes costly mistakes. The truth is that buying a home is full of nuance, and having the right information (and the right Realtor!) makes all the difference.
