You're Wish List
While your opinions on the type of home you want to own may change during the home buying process, consider these questions to help you prioritize and make the shopping process less time consuming.
- For some people, 'home' means a hub of social
activity; for others it might be a place to retreat from the pressures of
daily life. What does 'home' mean to you?
- Who will be living in your household? Will you often
have other family members of friends visiting for more than a few days at
a time?
- If you will be working outside your home, what would you consider
a comfortable commute (in time or distance)? Will you be working at home?
- How
close do you need to be to: (a) public transportation (b) schools
(c) airport (d) expressway (e) neighborhood shopping (f) other? - What are the most important activities for the members of your
household? For example, hobbies, recreation, school, entertaining,
religious or cultural activities.
- What are the features you liked most about homes you have lived in
previously? This might include style, floor plan, yard, view and
neighborhood.
- What did you not like about the house or neighborhood where you
have lived previously, and that you would want to avoid in your next home?
- What are the most important "must have" features of your
ideal home and neighborhood? Why are they important?
- What school systems do you want to be near?
- What architectural style(s) of homes do you prefer?
- Do you want a one-story or two-story house?
- How old of a home would you consider?
- How much repair or renovation would you be willing to do?
- Do you have special or needs that your home must meet?
- Do you require a fenced yard or other amenities for your pets?
