Where should you buy?

 

Now, that you know how much you can afford and the cost involved, you are ready to start looking for your new home. The first things to do is to think about What and Where.

 

When you deciding on where to live think about the following:

- Type of community you are interested in
- What is you proximity to work and how easy it is to commute
- How close are you to recreational facilities
- And where your children will attend school

 

Make a list of what you must have and what you would like, but be willing to compromise. The work sheets found at the back of this booklet will help you compare the features on different homes. Photocopy it and take copies with you while you’re house hunting.

 

There are other dynamics involved when you are choosing the location of your future home. For instance, have the property values risen or fallen in the past, and if there are, any future developments planned for the area. Now that you have looked after the Where /Location of your future home, you have to choose what style makes sense for you.
