A home
may represent the largest single investment you will
make in your lifetime. It is one of life’s most
exciting experiences and one of the most challenging.
As a result, there are many things you need to know before
signing on the dotted line. Whether you're already a
homeowner or a first-time buyer, preparation is the key.
A detailed plan will help ensure you complete all the
necessary steps in the complex process of buying a home.
Plus, the more prepared you are at the outset, less time
will be spent on stress, panic and uncertainty, and more
on securing your piece of the American Dream of Homeownership.
This
is your "wish list." Once your wish list is
complete, you and your agent should begin prioritizing
the items. Which are most important and which are less
necessary? Which features are absolutely essential to
you, which are nice "extras" and which are
completely undesirable? Some items most buyers consider
when making up your wish list:
-
Convenience
for all family members.
-
-
Crime
rate of neighborhood.
-
Types
of homes in neighborhood and property values.
-
Familial
needs like large floor plans, play room for children,
etc.
-
-
Proximity
to schools, employment, hospitals, shops, public
transportation, cultural activities, highways,
airports, the Shore, parks, stadiums, attractions,
etc.
With
this information readily available, your Hudson County
MLS Agent will recommend properties and neighborhoods
that meet your wish list criteria.
