Buying your First Home: Part 3

So you've found your realtor and they've sent you some houses to look over. Now it's time to pick a few to go see.

While you're looking at the possibilities there are a few things to keep in mind. Think about the type of neighborhood you want to live in. Do you prefer an older neighborhood, one with young families, a mix or something close to the action downtown? How much work do you want to put into the house? Are you looking for move-in ready, a bit of a fixer upper or a total gut job? You might also want to consider how many bedrooms and bathrooms you want and how many you need. Are you looking for a large yard with lots of space and possibly trees or a small yard that is quick and easy to mow? Remember that you might have to compromise on one thing to get the rest of the things on your must-have list. Having this information in mind while you look will keep you on track to find the best home for you.

Come by next week when we talk about the walk through.
