When you are buying a Charlottesville VA home a homebuyer checklist may be helpful.

By the time you have spent a day or more looking at Charlottesville homes for sale, they can start to run together.  You may remember that this home had that awesome kitchen or that one had the great backyard, but being able to accurately compare the many features of the different home just isn't going to happen.  It can be a great help if you have made up a homebuyer checklist in advance.  Then when you tour the various homes you can write down the details of each home when they are fresh in your mind.  Also the checklist will prompt you to consider all the details of the home as you go through it.

What sort of things should you consider as you view homes?

• Size - Will it accomodate my families needs now and in the future?  Is the home big enough or is it too big?
• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Floor plan - Will the flow of the home work for the way your family likes to live
• Is the home structurally sound and well maintained both inside and out
• Location and neighborhood
• Yard size and appearance
• Will your furniture fit in the home?
• Is there enough closet and storage space?
• What is the age and condition of the appliances
• Heat and air conditioning type

 In addition to having a homebuyer checklist it is a good idea to bring a digital camera along as you view homes.  Take pictures of the features that you want to remember about each home. 

Now you are able to remember and compare all of the homes that you have viewed.
