Pay attention to every detail as you visit homes and neighborhoods. Examine the landscaping, painting, windows, roofing, and exterior lighting. Check out the interior square footage, number and size of rooms, appliances, wall and floor coverings, insulation, etc. Also test the security system, heating and cooling systems, and plumbing. Make sure you can live with, or improve, each aspect of your new home.
Timing is everything.
Make sure this is a good time to buy. Factors that influence your decision may include current housing prices, tax benefits, or mortgage interest rates. Make a list of everything that is important to you. For additional assistance, ask your local real estate agent or Northeast Home Mortgage account executive. Get pre-approved for a mortgage loan first .
