| Before
You Buy |
Congratulations, you’ve
made the big decision to buy a home. Now What? There
are many questions you will need to ask yourself before
moving ahead. The biggest question is: where do I want
to live?
All of us have different likes and dislikes. The needs
of one person may be of little consequence to another
person. If you are moving to a new community your questions
may be different from somebody who is moving within the
community. If you are single, your needs will be much
different compare to a married couple with kids or the
needs of a retired couple. As you see you really need
to think about where you want to move and live.
Often an unthinkable phenomenon kicks in when searching
for a new home. This is the emotional phenomenon. You
may be drawn to some neighborhoods and homes more than
others and are unable to clearly explain why. You may
be fortunate and drawn to a home or neighborhood that
meets your needs. A suggestion here is to bring with you
a list of things you would like to have in your new neighborhood
and home and decide on the ones you must have and the
ones of lesser importance. See ”Defining
Your Dream Home”
section of this guide to help develop this list
for your new home.
This section of the guide is designed to help you provide
resources and provoke thought to make a decision on where
you want to live. Ask yourself these questions and decide
what importance they have in your decision on where to
move to and live. Write the answers down so you have a
quick list as you view homes and make sure your agent
or broker is clear on these.
