Before you talk to us, it is a good idea to define what's really important to you in a home and neighborhood. Ask yourself these questions:
1) Do we prefer a rural or city setting?
2) What recreational facilities are important to us?
3) How far am I willing to be from work?
4) Is access to public transportation or school buses important?
5) What type of housing is our ideal - single gamily home, townhouse, condominium,
country home?
6) What type of rooms do we need? How many living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms?
7) What are our future needs? Is our family growing or will children be
nearing adulthood? Do we foresee needing a home office or would we like
to have space for a pool?
8) What is the difference between the average home price in my current town,
and the average in my desitnation? What will the same dollar buy - more
or less? What about cost of living other than housing? Factor in any differences
in your salary or income that the move will bring.
9) What loan amount do we qualify for? What monthly payment comfortable
for us? Will we have any other trouble qualifying?
