The LIST when Buyers are Looking for a New Home
What is on your WISH LIST?
When you start working with a REALTOR®, together you put the items on the Wish List you hope to include in your new DREAM HOME. I like to say - put them in order and let’s look at the top 7 on this list. If you get 5 or a couple extra you didn't ask for - you probably found the right home. You rarely find that PERFECT home.
What is most important?
Square footage/Style/# of Bedrooms/bathrooms
Location to work/school
Style of home - Ranch, Two Story, Multi-level
Year built/Energy efficiency
Updated & Remodeled
Size of the yard/does it have views/backing to open space
Basement - Walk-Out, Garden, Finished
Are views important
Garage size/workshop
Close proximity to schools or how far is the commute to work
Walk Score and the ability to walk to a coffee shop, restaurant or shopping?
These items are easily found within the listing on MLS, but when you need a certain flow to a home, size of the master bedroom closet (even though we are seeing more photos of the master bedroom closet in MLS) or if the family room has ample natural light will require a visit to the property. There are times you need to identify which items you can and cannot live without. It is fun to find THE RIGHT HOME on-line, but you need to see the surrounding neighbors, the amenities close by and the feel of the home in person.
Buying a property right now will require a buyer to have a lender letter stating they are able to purchase (or proof of funds if purchasing with cash), and have some patience with the shrinking inventory. In some areas, once a home goes on the market, there are a multitude of showings, and many will decide to write an offer in those first days on the market. It is important to keep on top of the new listings daily!What is on your WISH LIST?
