When should we start looking for a new home if we are on a lease?
Question: Our lease ends March 3; we have to give a 60 day move out notice. So, if we give notice at the end of December, could we start looking then?
Answer: Yes !! Definitely start looking at the end of December. You need to start at least 60 days prior to move out because you need to narrow down your search area. Once you establish the area you are sure you want to live in then we can concentrate in that area. This should take a least 2 to 3 trips out.
Once we have the area established you will pick a home to make an offer on. It normally takes approximately 60 days for the whole process to take place, from finding the right home to making an offer, negotiations, inspections, repairs, loan processing and closing.
