What kind of home do you want?

The first step is to decide what will suit your tastes and lifestyle. Establish a check list of factors that will effect this decision. King & Heath First National can supply a worksheet from the First National Home Buyers Guide to save you time and help you focus on factors you may have otherwise overlooked.

Some factors to consider:

1. What location will be convenient for all family members.

2. Home purchases are often based on the type of home without sufficient thought  given to available services. 

3. Schools, shops and sporting facilities are important as is the convenience and cost of commuting to work.

4. Establish the price range you can afford in that location. 

5. How long do you plan to live in the home? If only for a short while, resale value may be of paramount importance.

6. Do family members enjoy sports or activities that require allocated space inside or outside the home or are they based away?

7. Why buy a home that requires time, money and effort to maintain if most of your free time is spent away from your home?

8. Keep in mind that the space needed can change dramatically as your family grows and your needs change.
