What do you Want and Need in a Home?

Here are many of the considerations you'll want to discuss before searching for home:
* Desired number of bedrooms and baths
*Preferences regarding kitchen, dining, family rooms, etc. and preferred home layout
*Need for a garage or parking space, and if so, for how many cars?
*How important is energy efficiency or other green home features?
* Commuting considerations.
*Landscaping considerations-the need for open play areas, privacy, patio space, decking, ect.
*Related costs such as homeowner association fees and property taxes.
*How much do you want to invest in a home beyond the purchase price, either financially or in terms of sweat equity, if you can't find exactly what you want?
* How long do you plan to live in this home? How does this impact the type of home you will buy, how much you'll spend, and your choice of location?

These are just a few tips before you get started on your new home search. Call Sandy and Sara today with any questions you may have!
