  1. Make an Expense Report and do proper Research

If numbers are not your strong suit, I suggest you take help for this step because it is probably the most crucial step you have to take while buying your house. What you need to do is make the list of every possible thing that you could need to spend your money on and do not just make a rough idea in your head, write it down, make an excel sheet if you deem necessary but make sure you know how much money you would need to spend in this endeavor and see it doesn’t exceed your savings and mortgage loan combined. Now it might be easier if you take your time and discuss these things with your family or partner if you are moving in together but if you are going to live alone then you can take the opinions for experts and realtors that provide special services exactly like these.

  1. Explore your every option

You should never buy a house that you did not properly look at, make sure that you are not settling for that house, you are purchasing it because you fell in love with that property. You can never settle for things like these unless your partner says so, just kidding you still should make sure you’re exploring every option you have and turning over every stone you can. You can hire a property inspector to help you figure out the problems with the place if there are any and to let you know what you are buying.

  1. Hire a good realtor

Realtors can be devious in making sure that you stick with them so make sure that you do not fall for them and whatever they say. It is their job to promise you the sun and the moon but the truth is no matter what they say to influence your heart it cannot change your dream house and the image you have in your mind unless you let them change it. If you think you are having even a teensy bit of doubt for your realtor you should always look online for their reviews and make sure you are doing business with the right person.

  1. Choose the right type of Neighbourhood

People think that they are just moving into the house but the truth is you are moving in a house that is in a different neighborhood (in most cases) and that means you should make sure you are choosing the right location and you feel safe with the surroundings of your house. This means making you get to know the place, find out the marketplaces nearby, see if the location is nearby to your workplace, or does it have schools nearby for your children (future prospects which you should also keep in your mind while buying a house). These kinds of things do matter which is why you cannot buy a house in the middle of nowhere, this is the reason they say when buying a real estate property, it’s all about “LOCATION, LOCATION, and LOCATION”.

  1. Making sure you are getting a good price

You cannot just buy a house because it looks good unless you are a millionaire who has enough money to buy the house burning a hole in your pocket so make sure that you know that the deal on the house is a good one. If you think you are not getting a good enough deal you can always try to negotiate, a tip for negotiating- do your research and find out the prices of houses nearby to your future house and make sure the prices are close, this can give a big edge in negotiating.
