<p> Are you <a href="https://www.home247.co/%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%8C%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%AE%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B7%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87-%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%98%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3/" alt="ทาวน์โฮมมือสอง สุทธิสาร">ทาวน์โฮมมือสอง สุทธิสาร</a> a do it yourself handyman who enjoys fixing things or do you love modern dwellings with all the bells and whistles in place? Do you enjoy rehabbing or remodeling? Will you have a need to update the interior? Are you the person that will take pride in your yard? </p><p> If you are a first time home buyer, you may not think of these questions just mentioned. Remodeling or updating can be very expensive. Will you be in a position to afford funding projects such as these? The most important question regards time. Are you a busy person? Will you have the time on your hands to complete these updates and or changes? These are things you should answer before taking that big leap. A great agent can assist. Your Realtor should ask these questions at the introduction meeting. That same agent should walk you through the entire process from start to finish with a handshake and key presentation. The agent should ask you a series of questions. Your answers will determine the exact property to fit your needs. The tour is very important. The agent should use his or her skills to determine if the property is the right fit for you. Listen to the agent. The agent should present any red flags, like mold, leaks, hazards, etc. </p><p> <strong> Location is the Key </strong> </p><p> Do you like driving long distances? How about being stuck in traffic for hours? Will it bother you if you live more than 20 minutes from the grocery store? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may want to take a little time to consider "Location." There are some that like to live in the country away from traffic with peace and quiet surroundings. They sacrifice being close to work, shopping and the city. If you ask these folks the question, "is it worth it?" they will mostly all say yes. Then there are others that prefer to walk to everything like shopping areas, places of worship, schools and work. That location is important to them as well. Lastly, there are buyers that concentrate on the areas or school districts with the best education for their children. Which of these are you? Please put some thought here. </p><p> <strong> I Have a Pet </strong> </p><p> It's devastating to learn that you have to give up your family pet because the homeowner's association rules won't allow pets in your new building. There are some condominium buildings that have restrictions on pets, or place limits on the number and size of pets you can have. It is important to make sure you find out if yours does before you sign the contract. If you're looking for a single-family pet friendly home, check to see if the backyard is fenced. Will it be easy to walk your dog through your neighborhood sidewalks? Are there other houses in close proximity? Will your dog bark? Are the neighbors' pets friendly as well? These are important questions to get answered. </p><p> <strong> Will I Progress or Regress </strong> </p><p> Look ahead to the future. Your wish list should always include the potential resale value of your new home. Try not to purchase a home that is completely different than the neighborhood norm. If you are different, you may hamper you selling chances to sell. Also, find out if any major construction or infrastructure projects are planned in your area. Be vigilant. Look around and do your own research. No one wants to buy a house facing a new junk yard. </p><p> <strong> Old vs. New </strong> </p><p> An older home might be charming and cozy, but managing its updates can be frustrating. Be prepared to allow time and finances for routine maintenance. On the other end, you may decide on a newer home that features updated construction techniques and was built according to new building code requirements. Remember, homes built prior to 1978 must be free of lead based paint. Be cautious and have this checked out. I strongly recommend that you have a home inspection conducted regardless of age or condition of the property you're purchasing. No home is perfect. This inspector will also explain maintenance areas and shut off points. </p><p> <strong> What Meets Your Needs? </strong> </p><p> You should always weigh in your needs before your wants. Are you looking for a busy downtown city location with streets, businesses and sidewalks or country with trees, large yards, and not a neighbor in site? Do you want a colonial with living areas on the main level and bedrooms on the second level or a main level rambler because climbing steps are difficult? What's your lifestyle? You may want an open floor plan or a more traditional layout if you have a large family. </p><p> You need to know what you can afford. Take every expense you have and plan accordingly. You will want to make sure to have set aside living expenses. Will this be your first home? Your first home may not be your dream home. The average home buyer will sell their first home within six years. </p><p> <strong> My Realtor is Important </strong> </p><p> The right Realtor will cover all the information discussed here. The same Realtor will be there when you sell in the future. Remember, if you did your homework right, your property should progress and you should make a profit towards that perfect dream home.
