Finding a Property

Starting Your Home Search

When you're ready to begin searching for your new home, it's important to approach the process with patience and careful consideration. The home-buying journey should never be rushed, as thorough research of areas, neighborhoods, and available properties is essential for making a sound decision. Open houses present valuable opportunities to gather information about both specific properties and the broader housing market.

During these visits, you can learn crucial details about a home's time on the market, any previous offers, special costs, and how it compares to other properties in the neighborhood.

Essential Property Evaluation

A systematic approach to evaluating properties will help you make an informed decision about your future home. Key considerations include whether the space meets both your current and future needs, the structural integrity of the home, the condition of mechanical systems and appliances, and the suitability of the yard and floor plan. It's important to take detailed notes and, with permission, photos or videos of each property you visit.

Consider each home through the lens of different seasons and weather conditions, and pay special attention to maintenance requirements, potential structural issues, and the overall fit within the neighborhood. Remember to communicate regularly with your agent about your preferences and concerns to help focus the search on properties that best match your needs.
