A couple things to know while house hunting

House hunting can be a daunting task, but it's important to know what to look for when hunting for your perfect home. Take the time to research and consider these tips before you start house hunting:

Budget

The first step in any successful house hunt is setting a budget. Do some research on housing markets in your area and get a good idea of what you can afford. Make sure to factor in additional costs beyond just the monthly mortgage payments, such as property taxes and homeowner's insurance.

Location

Location is key when it comes to house hunting. Think about your daily commute, proximity to schools, access to amenities like grocery stores and restaurants, etc. Also consider how close you are to family and friends, as well as the neighborhood's safety.

Condition

When you’re house hunting, make sure to take a close look at the condition of each potential home. Examine the foundation and roof for any signs of damage or wear. If possible, get an inspection done by a reliable professional so that you can be sure of the condition of the home.

Design Features

When looking at a potential home, you should also evaluate its design features. Think about whether or not you'll enjoy living there for many years to come. Black tile floors may look sleek and modern, but they will show all dirt!

Value

When considering value, your agent should look at the price per square foot (PPSF). This figure compares prices of similar homes in the same area and allows you to compare value between different properties.

ADU

Finally, if a listing doesn't include an acronym such as “ADU” for accessory dwelling unit, but there are two or more units on the property, there may be a chance that these units are not legal. Don't let this worry you - just make sure you do your research and talk to your agent about any questions or concerns.

House hunting can be an exciting process, but it's important to take the time to research and consider all of these tips before starting your house hunt. Knowing what to look for and having an eye out for potential problems can save you a lot of stress in the long run. Good luck!

Conclusion

House hunting can seem like a daunting task, but with these helpful tips, you can make sure that you are informed and prepared before starting your search. Do your research, set a budget, consider.
