For most people, buying a home is more than just an investment -  it’s the first step in building a future. That’s why it is important that you as a buyer don’t settle for less than what you want and need. There are a number of things to consider when you are looking for a new home.

You should know your price range. Price is often the deciding factor on whether you buy a house or not. So figure out what you can afford early on, and try to look at places in your price range. This can help reduce disappointment later on.

Look at houses that have enough rooms for you and/or your family to live in comfortably. Some houses will advertise only one or two bedrooms, but sometimes there may be a basement, an attic or office space that can be easily converted into a bedroom. So make sure to ask about houses with extra space if you need it.

Make sure to ask about any repairs or renovations the house has been through. You should consider how old the piping and appliances are. Find out if the appliances come with any type of warranty. Also keep an eye out for any repairs you may need to make to the home, and factor in the cost and time the repairs may take.

Pay attention to the outside of the house. Does the yard have enough room for your outside time? Is there a storage building or room to put one in if you want? If you like to garden consider how much work you may need to do to clear a space for a garden bed.

Once you have a good idea of the type of home you want to buy you can get in touch with a local realtor, like RE/MAX agent Lisa Jones . Lisa can help you narrow down the market to find the perfect home.
