Once you’ve Determined to Buy

By
Real Estate Agent with Wesely & Associates BRE 00560598

Some of the things to think about once you have determined to buy:. For example, are you interestedhouse-5 in an older home or a new one? How big of a home do you need? Would you like to move closer to certain major roads or freeways? I can answer many questions about the homes and communities you’re considering, and in the meantime, get you started in the loan pre-approval process.

Location Is Everything

Do you want to live in a particular city or neighborhood? If you’re a parent, you’re probably considering school districts and other child-friendly options like the proximity to parks. If you’re over 55, then a Senior Active living golfing community such as Del Webb may spark your interest. If you’re relocating to an unfamiliar area, you can contact the city or county government for information about the community, or I can  provide  many of these details through a comparative market analysis. It’s a good idea to investigate crime statistics per neighborhood when you’re narrowing down the areas of your home search.

Or perhaps location is the reason  you’re buying in the first place — to move closer to your work, your spouse’s work or your extended family, or to live within a particular school district’s zone. As you’re probably aware, the location of your home can have a dramatic effect on its price.

Size Matters

You may have experienced growing pains in your current home, which prompts you to pursue buying a new abode. Or you’re entering a self-employed profession and need a home office. Consider all your space requirements before you start searching for a new home. There’s no reason to waste time looking at two-bedroom condos when you really need a four-bedroom house.

Absolutely David.  Realtors tend to ask those questions of their buyers... especially those buying their first home.
