Before you can begin searching for a home you must identify what you are looking for. When you begin working with a Realtor they should help you determine your wants vs. needs by completing a needs analysis. In addition to knowing how many bedrooms, size of home and price range some additional questions you need to consider are;
- What Edmond neighborhoods do you like?
- Are there certain schools you would like to be near?
- How close do you need to be to public transportation?
- Do you need easy access to I-35 or turnpike?
- Do you prefer to be close to shopping centers or on the outskirts of Edmond?
- What architectural style do you prefer?
- Do you like/want 2 stories or1?
- How old of a home would you consider?
- Are you willing to do repairs or renovations?
- Are there any special needs your new home must meet?
- Do you need a fence for pets?
Once you answer these questions your Realtor will be better prepared to search for the Edmond home you are looking for. Check back next Friday for week 2 in the Ultimate Home Buying Guide to Edmond Home Buying when we will discuss the advantages of financial pre-qualification.
