9 House Hunting Tips

9 house hunting tips that can assist in getting everything you need.

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make.

Here are 9 house hunting tips to assist you in making your best buying decision.

TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES

of both, the interior, and exterior of the home (especially any special features you want to remember). This will make it much easier when you are comparing homes later and making a final decision.

KNOW YOUR BUDGET

Before looking at homes or applying for a mortgage you need to know how much home you can comfortably afford. When calculating, make sure you research all the involved costs of buying such as the down payment, insurance, property taxes, closing costs and money for any additional expenses.

BRING ALONG A FRIEND

or family member. They can offer a second opinion, another set of eyes, and lend their expertise.

THINK ABOUT PROXIMITY

to work, school or other locations you frequent, to make sure your new home is in a convenient area.

CHOOSE A NEIGHBORHOOD

Think of the amenities and characteristics you need your new community to have. Once you choose an area, get all the statistical information about the neighborhood such as local schools, crime stats and access to local shops.

USE A REALTOR

Getting help from a professional agent can alleviate stress from finding a home. They will offer their expertise and make finding your new home a quicker and more efficient process. Get recommendations from friends and family to find an experienced agent in your area.

LOOK FOR HIDDEN PROBLEMS

and possible defects that the seller hasn’t disclosed. Is there a rug or piece of furniture located in a odd space? There is a good possibility that its hiding a problem with the floor. Check all areas of the home as thoroughly as possible during your home inspection to avoid any surprises after closing.

NEEDS VS WANTS

Prioritize your list of wants and needs and communicate these items to your Realtor prior to viewing any homes.

KNOW ALL ADDITIONAL COSTS

such as home inspection fees, survey costs, taxes, HOA / Condo fees and property taxes.
