Dream Homes Really Can Come True!

House hunting is supposed to be fun but to truly enjoy the experience, it’s important to be properly prepared.

It’s easy for homebuyers to get frustrated when things don’t go their way so it’s important to start off with a solid plan and a positive mindset. Here are a few points to consider before you head out hunting for homes:

Finance Forward

Get pre-qualified for a mortgage so you’ll know exactly how much you can afford to spend. It’s important to also set aside money for closing costs such as legal fees and tax adjustments.

Know Your Needs

Make a list of the features your new home must have such as a double driveway and then a separate list of features you’d like to have such as an ensuite bath or walk-in closet.

Future Plans

Think about how long you plan on living in the home and whether or not it has to be in move-in condition or close to schools, transit, shopping, etc.

Keep An Open Mind

In this market, you’ll need to be flexible so when you start your search, try to keep an open mind. When you’ve explored all your options, you’ll be able to narrow things down and focus on your goal!

Location, Location, Location

Determine whether the location of your home is more important than the home itself. You can always update the home but you’ll never be able to update its location.

The Bold & Beautiful

Don’t be put off by the green shag carpet or floral wallpaper as they’re easy to replace. On the other hand, don’t get “taken in” by a well-staged home with expensive furniture.

Ready, Set, Go!

Homes in the Anytown area can sell quickly, so when you finally find the perfect home, it’s important to act in a decisive manner so that you don’t end up with regrets.

House hunting is an exciting adventure, especially when you're well-prepared! Getting your finances in order, understanding your needs and keeping an open mind will all go a long way in helping you find the perfect home.
