Buying a home is an intense process, especially so for first-timers. Since I have seen a lot of home buyers I know the no. 1 mistake that they do—they don’t know what they want ?? buying my own home in July 2013, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how to get the ball rolling, so the first thing to do when trying to buy a home is to have a wishlist.
Obviously, I know after watch enough house hunters that wish lists don’t
line up with budgets most of the time, but it is still a good idea to have a
rough idea with of what you are looking for.
The wish list also helps the agent find you homes best suited to your
needs.
BUILDING YOUR WISHLIST
Everyone has a wish list for what they want in a home,
whether you are currently looking, in a home already, or still renting and
compiling a list of your “must haves” for the future. I’ve been making a list in my head since I was ten, and even
though I own a home currently, I still think about what features I’d like to have
in the future.
Here’s a chart ,I used when I was house hunting
Wished feature
|
3br
|
2 baths
|
Laundry space
|
2 car garage
|
Drive way
|
Front porch
|
Front garden area
|
Now I didn’t get all of these features ,atleast I knew what I
wanted from the start. And if you’re wondering what I got – I got more than the
list above as I built my home in NewZealand with the help of trident homes.
