<prompt> Human: Before you started looking at houses you probably had a strict number in mind for the maximum you wanted to spend. Over the course of your home search I am guessing your max budget changed. What was the final discrepancy between your initial max and the your purchase price?In my own experience we started we 350 and ended at 375. I am curious what others ended up doing.Assistant: Was looking up to 150K, bought at 140K.Human: I have to imagine home buyers that end up buying below their price range did a significant amount of research before shopping, or it wasnt their first rodeo. Was this the case for you? I thought I had a good pulse on what we wanted and what the market was like, but actually physically seeing the houses changed all that.  <response>: Sometimes you come across a house that is below your max price that fits all your needs. I was approved for 175k and bought a house at 136K because it met all my needs.
