- Make a list of new home requirements and research homes that meet those requirements.The shopping experts encourage you to make a shopping list before you go into the grocery store to save time and money. It’s even more important to make a shopping list for amenities when purchasing a home. Take some time with the whole family to discuss your reasons for moving and what you want in a new home. Write down your must haves and would be nice if’s in prioritized order.
- For Example: We need at least a 2 car garage, no less than 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It must be at least 1500 square ft. with central air. Prefer attached garage but will settle for detached. Would like to back to open space.

to create a report of your Must Haves, Wants, and Desires in a new home.
Before putting your home on the market, make sure the home you want is in the price range you can afford and qualify for. Start your research by previewing available homes that meet your requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: At this stage, look but don’t visit or contact the seller or their agent. The purpose of this research is to make sure you have realistic expectations; not to find the home of your dreams. If you visit a new home development or FSBO, don’t give them your name: hand them your agent’s card. Moving ahead of the game without representation can cost you dearly in the long run.
