Step 1: DECIDING WHAT YOU WANT
The first step to finding the right home is to deter- mine what you’re actually looking for. There are a lot of homes on the market at any one time, and you want focus. Consider these key questions.
Where do I want to live?
What communities or neighbourhoods do you want to consider? Is it important to be near schools, shop- ping centres, recreation facilities, places of worship, hospitals, or other amenities?
What are the Deal-Breakers
What are the most important features for you in a home? Try to elimate cosmetic things and focus on practical needs based on your family and future needs.
When is the Best Buy
Understand your financial situation: Before you de- cide to buy, you need to explore the reality of your finances. This decision requires more than simply a down payment and a monthly income.
