If you are thinking of buying a home and don't know where to start you can contact a good realtor to help you. Do you want a newer house with less maintenance or a more traditional classic home? How far do you want to be from work? Will you stay at your current job? How about schools, crime, neighborhood? All of these are important. Make a list. Write down want you want and what you need. Is a finished basement important, a sun room, den or library? One or two story, large lot or small. Garage? City or Suburb? Condo?There are many choices. Make a list, work with professionals and you will be living in your dream home soon.
You can look for homes on the Internet and see dimensions and pictures but you really need to go inside and look at the area and the interior to know if it is good for you or not. Some people look at 10 homes, others 25. When you find the home you like make a strong offer and you will not regret it. When you find the one you like you will submit a written offer indicating what you will pay, and at what rate, when you will close and how much earnest money you will provide to show the seller you are serious. A closing is commonly 30 days after the offer is submitted or accepted but can be sooner or later. You may want to hire a home inspector soon after acceptance to check the mechanicals of the home. Talk to your realtor, lender and attorney with any questions you may have.
