Tips ...
Pre-approve with a bank or mortgage lender to find out how much of a house you can afford.
Develop a checklist of characteristics you want in a home.
Determine what type of neighborhood you want to live in. Determine what facilities and amenities you want in your community or nearby.
Let your broker know your likes and dislikes and prioritize them for yourself and your broker. Eliminate houses as you search, keeping no more than three to five possibilities at one time.
Be prepared to make an offer and leave a deposit when you find the house you want.
When you find the home you are interested in, keep in mind these questions:
-
How long has this home been on the market?
-
Is this the first time the home has been listed by this seller?
-
Does the home and property have any easements attached? (public or private)
-
What items in the home are included or excluded from the sale? (washer/dryer, refrigerator, window treatments, lighting fixtures, etc.)
-
Has there been any price reduction on the home during its listing period?
-
What is the price range of other homes that have sold in the neighborhood?
-
What are the demographics of the neighborhood?
-
What is the average time homes have been on the market in this neighborhood or area?
