Start Home Shopping: Touring Homes in Your Price Range

Embarking on the home shopping journey is an exciting step in the home buying process. Here’s a guide to help you navigate this phase efficiently and effectively.

Touring Homes

When we start touring homes, it's essential to take detailed notes. Each home will have unique features, and it can be challenging to remember all the specifics. Here’s how to make the most out of your home tours:

• Take Notes: Jot down details about each home you visit to help you remember what you liked and didn't like. I'll have detailed sheets on each home for you at every showing. 
• Assess Recent Sales: Once we find the perfect home, I will present an appropriate offer based on recent sales and current buyer activity in the area.
• Evaluate Property Value: Consider the value of the property in its current condition. This can help during negotiations after the offer is presented.

Tips for Home Shopping

Check Every Detail:

• Look for any signs of deferred maintenance. 
• Conduct a thorough scan of the home to identify potential issues.

Evaluate the Neighborhood:

• Are the surrounding homes well maintained?
• How much traffic is on the street?
• Is the location convenient to schools, shopping, restaurants, and parks?

By paying attention to these details, you can ensure that you make an informed decision when choosing your new home. The goal is to find a home that not only meets your needs, but also fits well within the context of its neighborhood and surrounding amenities.
