Are you thinking about buying a house? There are so many things to consider when looking for a home. Here are our top 5 most important things to reflect on when searching for a new home.

1. Location

The most important thing to determine is the location of your home. You need to consider your commute, nearby amenities, and opportunities. If you have a family, how are the school districts? Is the area safe, does it offer entertainment for your growing family? You can always change the house on the lot but you can’t move the lot. 

2. Size

Consider the number of bedrooms and bathrooms needed. Do you need a big backyard for a furry friend? It’s always good to think about possibilities for what your house could be in the future. You only have a certain amount of space to work with so choose wisely. 

3. Layout 

It is important to consider the flow of the home. Think about if you like an open floor plan or prefer rooms to be sectioned off. What works best for you and your family? Could the layout be altered in the future to accommodate for change?

4. Age of the Home 

Do you want new construction or a historic home? The charm of a historic home can feel cozy and comfortable but does it check all the boxes? Or maybe, you have a dream of a personalized new construction home, it’s hard to beat customization. 

5. Renovations

Are you willing to put in some elbow grease or do you prefer a move-in ready home? Sometimes home renovations can cause a headache so it is important to determine if you are willing to do some projects. Maybe renovation isn’t in the picture now but will be in the future, keep your options open.
