Location
When looking for tips for buying a new home, the question of location is one of the most important. You have to ask yourself where you want to live, obviously. However, this question is not as easy to answer as it may seem.
> Is the place accessible to public transportation?
> Is it accessible to freeways?
> Is it near schools? Hospitals? Malls? Parks? Do you like going to the beach, for example?
> How do you like to spend your weekends? Do you like taking leisurely walks in the parks or having picnics? Then, obviously, having a home that is accessible to places like these should be your top priority.
> What kind of neighborhood would you like to live in? Would you like a laid-back one or a fast-paced neighborhood?
Size
Again, this may seem obvious to some people, but it’s something that you should really explore.
> For example, do you own pets?
> Do you need a spacious yard for large dogs or for a big hobby?
> How many kids do you have, or how many rooms do you require?
> Do you plan on having a lot of guests over or hosting a lot of parties?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you need a spacious house.
Pricing
Now you have to take a good, hard look at your finances. You need to know just how much you are willing to spend on a new home. Are you willing to build a new home or are you willing to buy a built one? Buying a home that is already built can save you thousands of dollars, but you may not always get the exact specifications you want.
