So I'm in the house...what should I look for?
 

When your searching for your next home, try not to let your emotions lead you - look at the homes on a practical level - what do you need.

Look at all the positives & negatives -

• are there enough bedrooms or bathrooms?
• is the house the right size?
• is there enough storage space?
• is it in the right location?
• is it close to schools?
• is the house in good repair?
   

You may walk into a home and fall head over heels in love with it.  But is it because it's beautifully decorated and furnished...and it shows like something out of a magazine?   Remember, you're not buying the furniture...when the owners move out, the furniture goes with them.  The home may have 3 bedrooms...but you need 4.  Maybe it has a swimming pool.  The home is on a main road and you have small children.  You have a big dog and the condominium doesn't allow pets.

Make up a checklist and make sure the home has what you need.  Anything extra is just the cherry on top.
