Now
that you have your list of needs and wants and you know
how much you can afford to spend, it's time to look at
some houses! Not just yet. Step back for a moment and
consider the larger picture. People don't just buy a
house; they buy the neighborhood the house is in. Think
about that...if you found the perfect house but it was
in a neighborhood that wasn't to your liking, would you
make an offer on it? Most likely the answerwould be,
"No."
So,
you will need to make another list of what type of
neighborhood you want to live in. You will most likely
want to consider things like how living in the
neighborhood will affect your drive time to and from
work, what amenities are offered (swimming pool, tennis
courts, park, etc.), and, if you have children who are
attending school or soon will be, what school district
you will be in and how close the schools are. You may
even want to make two lists just as you did with your
home criteria.
Greg
& The Team can help you consolidate the
information from your list of needs and wants for your
home, your preapproval, and your list of needs and wants
for the neighborhood. From this, you can incorporate
this information into a broad search profile, which will
then be narrowed down to specific areas dictated by the
market in which you will be looking. Greg & his
Teamt's
experience in local markets will be an invaluable
resource during this step.
