- Determine Your Budget – Get Preapproved
- This is an increasingly easy process to do, because most of it can be accomplished online, before you even speak to the lender. Understanding your affordability is key to narrowing down what you can afford, and even sometime towns or locations in your budget.
- Choose Your Neighborhood – Visit & Experience
- Go to towns and neighborhoods that you are considering and check out the local sights. Visit the amenities and attend local events. Consider your commute to work, schools, parks, community events, restaurants, and even dog parks!
- Pick Your Home’s Style and Must Haves
- Make a list of what you must have, would like, and if possible categories. Put three in each category and have your partner do this separately and see what each wrote down. You will have an easier time focusing on the practicality of a home and be able to weed out whether or not you would like to view it or potentially make an offer on the home.
