Deciding What to Buy You need to begin thinking about what you want and then setting some priorities. Ask yourself questions such as:
What type of home is most appealing to you: ranch, split-level, contemporary, two-story, etc.?
Which construction do you prefer: brick, vinyl siding, wood siding, stone, stucco, etc.?
What kinds of activities will take place in your home on a regular basis? If one of you is a student, for example, you will need to have a quiet study area somewhere in your home. If you plan to do a lot of casual entertaining, a rec room may be important.
How many bedrooms will you need? Bathrooms?
Do you want a separate dining room?
Do you need a basement?
Do you prefer a large or small lot?
Is it important to have a garage? Does the garage need to be attached?
Do you want a fireplace?
How much square footage do you need?
Do you need a fenced yard?
Once you've defined some of your expectations and desires, you and Kammeyer Realty Group can begin to prioritize them. Which items are negotiable and which aren't? How much flexibility do you have?
Deciding Where to Buy
You may have heard that location is everything in real estate. For a homebuyer, location is very subjective; as with deciding what to buy, deciding where to buy is a matter of determining priorities. Is it important to you to be close to your work, your church, your extended family, or a particular school? Do you want to be near a recreational area? These factors will determine the area of town in which you choose to purchase your new home.
