Buyer fatigue is real — and if you’re ready to quit, this episode is your reset.

Veronica and Meighan break down why so many first home buyers lose momentum—and how to get back on track without compromising on the things that matter most. They unpack the signs of buyer burnout, how to spot when your strategy is no longer working, and what to do when the market has shifted under your feet.

You’ll learn how to reassess your expectations, decide when and where to compromise, and avoid the trap of overcorrecting just to “get something done.” They also cover real-world pivots like switching suburbs, refining your search criteria, talking to agents differently, and timing your breaks without missing opportunities.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of scrolling, inspecting, and still coming up short, this episode will help you recalibrate your next move with more clarity and confidence.
