- Keep in mind, your present or future children’s requirements when you are considering buying a new house. There should be an adequate number of rooms. You should also check whether the staircases are safe for the children and whether pools have protective fences. If the house was previously owned by a family with children, you can be least assured about some built-in safety devices in the house.
- Do check whether the locality where you are planning to buy a property has good educational institutions, health care centres, market places and other basic amenities with a proper communication system.
- Don’t be afraid if the seller declines from your offer. You can continue negotiating by becoming more flexible with the prices in exchange for repairs that might be required in the house before you move in. The seller may even agree to cover your closing cost.
- It is always advisable to compromise between the asking prices and the original prices. This will ultimately lead to a price that you and the seller would agree upon.
- If you are too rigid about your concession demands, the seller might refuse to lower his asking price. Rather you can request the seller to help you with closing costs or other financial incentives. You can also ask him to make a temporary buy down on the interest rate.
- Collect home buyer’s checklist from your realtor so that you have an account of what all tasks you need to do when you are purchasing a home.
- You must have a clear understanding of the terms and conditions of mortgage loans. You should also know how much interest you will have to pay every month and how much it would finally amount to.
- If you are planning to buy a house for your personal use you can opt for one in your own locality as you and your family would be more familiar with the place. For this, you need to research the local estate market and utilise the resources of a local reliable realty agent.
- Select a qualified real estate agent who is familiar with the locality where you are planning to buy a property. He should also have a good track record in home selling.
- If you are willing to buy a foreclosed home, keep in mind that it will surely need repairs. Pest treatment and new HVAC system may also be needed.
There is good news for the buyers. As there has been a crash in the housing market, the properties are now available at extremely low prices. Although the market will eventually regain, but if you buy now the rise in property value would become profitable for you.

If you are thinking of buying a home then you might want to look at other things about it that might not let it last for a long time. It might be a good idea to plan for a long time in the future and try to see if the house will work for you for a long time.
