Talked to my bank last week about pre-approval and it totally threw me off

I thought I had a solid handle on my budget for this house hunt in Columbus. Met with my loan officer last Thursday and she showed me how much I could actually qualify for versus what I thought was my limit. It was way higher but she also warned me about some closing costs I never even considered. Now I'm wondering if I should aim lower than what they say I can get. Has anyone else had their lender tell them something that made you rethink your whole price range?

Start looking at everything as a negotiation, not a fixed price.

Read a book called "Never Split the Difference" that totally changed how I view buying a car.
