Are you thinking of moving and buying another home but are unsure what exactly you want? It is fairly common for people to contact me and tell me that they have either outgrown their home or want to downsize but do not know what type of home they want next.
My advice to them is that it is a great idea to sit down and begin with some sort of plan. If you have a general idea of what you want to accomplish but you are not sure where to begin, you can start there. There are multiple types of living options to choose from: lofts, apartments, country estates, townhomes, patio villas, suburban subdivisions, etc., which all offer different things for the buyer.
The first step to deciding which is right for you is deciding what you must have. Do you have to have a gourmet kitchen? Do your kids need a flat backyard to throw around a football? Or, maybe space for a third garage is a must? Start with the things you are certain about.

You need to make a plan to figure out what you absolutely need to have in a new home.

Next, look at what your budget will be. What do you want your mortgage payment to be per month? To do this, we figure out how much you can qualify for in terms of a loan and how much you need to set aside for a down payment.
Also, do you want a fixer-upper home? Or do you prefer a home which is totally maintenance-free?
After we know all of the certainties, then we start the process of refining. We can build on what we know to find you your dream home. The key is to have an expert advisor that can help you work through the process.
If you have any questions or would like to work with me to help you decide what you want and need in a home, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
