Before purchasing a home, which is likely one of the bigger decisions you will ever make, bear in mind there are many factors to consider first.
Homes that appear suitable for your needs and aesthetic preferences at one time of day might not seem so at another time of day. Visit at various times of day and night and think about various aspects of living there, including whether the neighborhood consistently feels safe.
Talk to your potential future neighbors. Ask them if the area has ever flooded, or what they know about the home you are considering buying.
The closer you get to reaching a decision to purchase the home, pay to have it professionally inspected. All homes have imperfections, but knowing what a home’s particular problems are before writing a check for a down payment can save you time and money later. Often you can negotiate for a lower selling price is you know that major work needs to be done.
