Embarking on the home-buying journey is equally exciting and nerve-wracking!
There are so many factors to consider that it can get overwhelming. Our blog is full of helpful tips, and we wanted to add on by listing some questions to ask yourself before you start your journey!
What Are Your Long-Term Goals?
Long-term goals set the foundation for what home you will buy. While it’s overwhelming to think of, and things may change in the future, it’s still important to consider them. For example, if you plan on having a few kids within a year, the one-bedroom home isn’t the best investment right now.
What Are Your Needs and Wants?
Although it may not feel like it, there is a difference between a need and a want- especially when it comes to home buying. Start with exactly that question: what are my needs and my wants? For many, it’s helpful to make a list detailing each need and want and even listing some areas of compromise. For example, if someone wants a pool, but the house they’re looking into buying doesn’t have one, they may compromise if the house has another amenity or room to install one in the future.
