- Many times it so happens that your dream house is not in your preferred locality. So you have to decide what to do. It is advisable to remain a little flexible as living in a congenial and safe neighbourhood is important.
- You should always have some liquid cash at your disposal when you are buying a house. Although the prorated taxes, bank points and down payments are included in the closing costs but additional expenses such as appraisals, surveys or home association fees may also crop up.
- This is the right time to purchase a property as the real estate is at an all-time low. You can move into a house from a flat by utilising this situation and later on when the price increases, you can sell at a higher rate.
- While discussing the financial dealings with the seller of the house you are interested in, you can request the seller to help you with the closing costs. You can as well ask him to buy down the interest rates for a couple of years.
- When you are buying a house, check the interiors minutely. If there is a fireplace, it should only be in the living room of places that have a cold climate.
- Keep aside some money for renovation if you are buying a foreclosed house. This is because; a house that has not been used for a long time would invariably need renovation, pest control treatment and might as well require a new HVAC system.
- It is not only important to check how much repair work is needed to be done in the house of your choice, but also find out how the neighbourhood is and what are the crime rates in the area. You should minutely consider all such details before you finalise your decision.
- When you are seeing houses in order to buy one, don’t be swayed by its décor. Do give more importance to other factors like general condition of the house, location, environment etc. because the interiors can be done by you later.
- Select a reliable real estate agent who has lived at least for 10 years in the locality where you are planning to buy your house or flat. Then only s/he will have a clear knowledge of the neighbourhood, roads and restrictions of that particular community.
- Ask for a warranty from your from your builder if you are buying a brand new house. If it is a pre-owned one, ask the owner to give you at least one year’s warranty or he should buy you a warranty so that he can help you with repair works.
So, by keeping in mind the above-mentioned points you can surely be successful in purchasing your dream home.
