Buying a home requires a lot of thought…and action! When it comes time to buy a home, most people already have a pretty good idea of the type of residence they’re looking for, such as a single-family unit, a duplex or a multiple-unit dwelling. Chances are they also have a good idea of their price range. Buying a home can be much easier with a bit of planning and by taking a closer look at your specific needs. For example, what are the municipal taxes for the area and what services are available?

Finding and choosing a real estate agent is another smart move. These professionals will dedicate their time and effort to finding the exact type of home that you’re looking for. By having a realtor do all the preliminary legwork for you, you won’t spend valuable time visiting properties that don’t suit your needs. But real estate agents aren’t mind readers. That means you should be able to provide your realtor with as much information as possible. When you first sit down with him or her, outline your requirements: the type of neighbourhood you’re looking for, the approximate lot size, as well as the type of home and the number of rooms. Also, make sure to mention any other important features that you’re looking for such as a specific heating or ventilation system. All this information will help you narrow down the search to those homes that can meet your needs.
$499,000 Look no further. Hurry to make an appointment and your search will be over. This updated and well maintained 1922 square foot rancher has been designed with privacy in mind with the guest bedroom and the master suite at opposide sides of the home. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac of quality homes it features dark, plank hardwood throughout, granite countertops and newer stainless appliances in the spacious kitchen. Private deck with a hot tub and well landscaped. Judged to be the best value in Fairwinds. Call now to view. www.carolefulton.com for a slide show.

or call 250.248.8371 carole@carolefulton.com
Once you’ve decided on a particular property, your realtor will submit a purchase bid to the owner or developer (in the case of a new building). This bid may be conditional, such as requesting that certain elements be left in the home, such as the dishwasher, vertical blinds or decorative items.

TIPS
FREE W E E K L Y
Buying a home? These seven tips can make your house-hunting experience positive & rewarding. 1.
2.
Location counts - you’ve probably heard the old real estate joke about “location, location, location”, but the point still bears repeating. Location is critical. How far are you really willing to drive to your place of employment? How good are the local schools and public transportation? Even a picture-perfect dream home can be a mistake if it’s in an undesirable location, and a poor-location home can be a particularly bad choice if you anticipate reselling the home in a few years. Make a list - Do you (and your spouse, if you’re married) really know what you need and want in your home? You’ll save many hours of shopping (and potential arguing) if you make a list ahead of time. Zero in on the features you must have, would like to have, definitely don’t want and would prefer not to have. Your goal is to find the right home for your family without falling in love with one that doesn’t suit your needs. Start compiling your wish list by thinking about what you like & dislike about your current home.
3.
4.
Do your homework - not too long ago, consumers had very little access to information about recent home sale prices, market trends, homes on the market, neighbourhood statistics and the home-buying process. Today, all this information and more is available. Go surfing on the web or ask a realtor to provide you with this information. Get educated. Become empowered. Get pre-approved for a mortgage - Your top-dollar home price is a function of your household income, your credit worthiness, interest rates, the type of loan you select and how much cash you have or are willing to offer for the down payment. Rather than guessing or estimating how much you are going to be able to afford to spend, ask a lender or a mortgage broker to give you a full assessment and ask for a letter stating how much you’re qualified to borrow. The true amount may be much more or less than you think.
5.
Use a checklist - touring multiple homes can be a confusing experience for most people. Rather than relying on memory, make notes about the homes you visit. Create a personalized home-shopping checklist and use it to track the features of each home that you’re interested in.
6.
Be prepared to make an offer - house hunting can be frustrating, especially if you know you’re not ready to buy a home. If you’re not ready, don’t put yourself through the exercise. If you are ready, ask your realtor to go over a blank purchase agreement ahead of time so you’ll know what decisions you’ll face when you make the offer.
7.
Relax - granted, buying a home is a major life-altering event. But it’s not worth making yourself crazy or super over-stressed about. Save time at the end of your house-hunting expedition to unwind, calm your thoughts and emotions and keep the whole experience in perspective.
