Common Sense and a Home Purchase
Categories:Community,Generations
Sometimes it feels like these two terms – "common sense" and "home purchase" – don't really belong in the same area code. Buying a home is an emotional process, especially if it's your first time. A
s hard as it is to peel back the layers of excitement and anxiety when searching for a property, a cool head and a healthy overdose of common sense will help keep you within your means and get you into a suitable home.
Common Sense: Go see the house before making any decisions.
I know. This one is pretty obvious. But there are people who see pictures on-line or read a general description and are suddenly and irrevocably convinced the house is the perfect fit. On many occasions, it's not. Chances are the staging was incredible or the description was written by a retired novelist. Go see the place for yourself. It may back onto the highway or situated beside an apartment block. Overlook the wow factor and see if the house makes sense to you. Are there sufficient rooms for your needs? Does the kitchen work for you? Are there are any obvious flaws? This is where the home inspector comes into the picture where he may find defects where you may need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on repairs.
More common sense to come.
