I'm ready to buy, but there are too many options?


Last Sunday at my Open House I met a couple that has just begun the home searching process. Not having strong preferences for area, style of home or size, they both seemed very overwhelmed and unsure of how to begin.

There are so many variables to consider when finding the perfect home, you must focus on what's important in your everyday lifestyle. For that reason, I highly suggest you create a list of  Top 5 "Must Haves". If you have no preference for location, then take that out of the equation and just focus on features and budget, you will automatically disqualify locations that are higher priced or don't offer the size you need.

If you are dead set on a certain location(s), then obviously the lifestyle benefits of those locations is one or more of your must-haves (i.e. short drive/bike to work, being in a certain school zone). Just be prepared to compromise on other areas, such as size and condition.

Focusing on what's most important from the beginning can be extremely helpful in finding the perfect place and ensures your confidence to make an offer when it feels right. As the market continues to balance out, the best deals will come and go quickly, so make sure you are ready to strike when the iron is hot. Do your homework, talk with your spouse/partner, know what you want!!
