The Do's of Home Buying
Do research the neighborhood. Location is the most important thing. Figure out what you're looking for, do research and find a neighborhood that fits your description.
Do look at several houses before you buy. If you buy a home without comparing it to other listings in the area you're likely to overpay or miss out on a home nearby. IF you still love the first one you saw, make an offer.
Do invest in a professional inspection. Sellers don't always disclose the whole truth to potential buyers. The average home buyer takes 15 minutes or less to choose a home but many potential problems might not be visible to the naked eye. Home inspectors look beyond the fresh coat of paint to find underlying problems. Ask your realtor for recommendations on home inspectors.
Do buy based on needs, not wants. Think about your long term needs when buying a home. Make a list of your needs and stick to it to avoid buyer's remorse down the road.
