Narrowing the field - Michigan home buyer tips

Real Estate Agent with Real Estate One 6501304423

As a Metro Detroit home buyer it is always smart to figure what you want before you go out and start looking.  If you want to drive a Metro Detroit real estate agent crazy jump all over in what you want.  Knowing what you need and what is good for you and your family is so important.  It will cut out the time you spend on the road.

  How many bedrooms

Here are some the questions you should answer for yourself.

  1. How many bedrooms?  What is the minimum you need?  Three plus bedrooms always allows you room to grow in a home.
  2. How big of a home?  When you buy a home under a 1000 square feet you may grow out of it quicker.  Too big of a home may cost you large utility bills.
  3. Garage?  Attached or Detached?  How many car?  Or do you even care about a garage?
  4. What cities do you like?  Are schools important?  Then you should check out schools on sites like greatschools.net
  5. How many bathrooms?  Do you need a bathroom on the floor the bedrooms are on?  Having more than one makes it easier on the family.  Do you care if it is one in the basement?
  6. What type of lot?  Corner lot or maybe you want a lot with privacy?  Would you like a little land?  Do you want to be on the water like a waterfront home on Dunham Lake in Hartland?  Do you want to cut a lot of grass or have gardens? Or do you want to spend your weekends not cutting the grass? Maybe a condo is more to your lifestyle.
  7. Are you looking for a ranch, colonial, or splitleve home?  Maybe you would like an old Victorian home with a little character?

Russ, yes I like your advice to "write it down". The act of writing lends importance and prioritizes a buyer's list of home criteria.

With all the good press Detroit has been getting lately, I think these are wise words for a buyer to consider. They should seek out an experienced agent such as yourself, to help them narrow their choices and complete a great buy. cheers cvc
