The Informed Home Buyer/Seller

Ways To Make The Home Hunting Process Easier

Shopping for a new home can be intimidating. Here are some tips for making the home hunting process a lot easier.

  1. Get your mortgage arranged in advance. Get pre-approved so you will not miss the opportunity to buy your ideal home when you find it.
  2. Clearly define the kind of home you want and the neighbourhood you want to live in. You will burn yourself out if you don't have a clear description of the kind of home you want. i.e. Number of bedrooms, kitchen size and size of lot. And don't forget the neighbourhood. Upscale? Close to downtown? Close to shopping and theatres? With this information, a good Realtor can quickly create a shortlist of properties that meet your criteria.
  3. Take good notes. After viewing a few homes, you may easily forget the details. If you take good nores, you will be able to make decisions later on about which homes to shortlist.
  4. Get help. A good realtor can make the home shopping experience go quickly and smoothly.

Personal Questions to Ask About LOCATION.

Location affects market value. But it also affects your lifestyle. Here are some personal questions to ask yourself when shopping for a new home.

  1. Do you want to live in the busy part of town? A quieter sub-division? A small town?
  2. How close to you have to be to work? Are main highways easy to get to? Is public transit readily available?
  3. If you have children, is there a school nearby?
  4. What amenities do you want nearby? Safe walking areas? Local parks? A shopping mall? A golf course?
  5. Do you want to be near family and friends?
