Finding Your Dream Home

There are many choices to consider when thinking about buying a house.  The following is a list of home features to assist in Finding Your Dream Home.

* Home Type: Do you want a detached single-family home, multifamily home, townhouse, or condominium? Do you prefer new construction or a previously owned home? Each has advantages and disadvantages.

* Location: Is a view important to you? How about the size of the yard? Is privacy more important than the size of the yard? Is the home on a quiet street or is there a lot of traffic?

* Size and Floor Plan: What size home do you want? Consider how you will live in and use the space. For example, do you want four bedrooms because you have three children? Or will you use the extra bedrooms for a guest room and separate office or hobby space? How you live in and use your home will determine the size, configuration, and floor plan you need.

* Fixer-Upper: Do you want a fixer-upper? It's a great way to accumulate instant equity, but it does take time and money. Consider financing. It can be a challenge, depending on the condition of the house.

* Special Requirements: Make sure the home has any special features you may require, such as RV parking, central air, a main-floor bedroom, or disability features.

* Family Space: Family activities often center around the kitchen, so this may be the most important room in the house. Larger kitchens are usually better. If the home is a resale, have the kitchens and baths been updated? How much space do you want in your kitchen? Do you like the layout? Are new appliances important to you?
