By Harold Dueck, Royal LePage WHEN YOU DECIDE to buy a home, you should begin your ° search by answering three basic questions: 1. How much.can | af- ” ford?; 2..What do‘ need in a . house?; 3. Where do J want: to live? Keep a written record of your.” - immediately or'if they can wait. If answers. It may take a little time, ‘but/once the task is completed, “you and your real estate represen- tative should be able to find the ; right house in the right area at the, . Aight price.” oo oo. “Money Determining how much you can - afford is relatively straightforward, yet it’s the most important factor in the home- -buying decision. -Most- people have -to borrow . money in the form of a mortgage eit. buy a home. ‘All mortgage “lenders, including banks, trust ‘. companies, and credit unions, use specific guidelines to decide how much money you can afford to - borrow. Your salary, outstanding loans and credit rating are all taken Into account. The rule-of-thumb ts that your monthly housing costs, including mortgage payments, taxes and _ heating, should not exceed 30 per- * cent of your gross family monthly income. If you're unsure about how much you can ‘afford, talk to a reputable real estate sales representative or the loans manager at your bank. If you already own a house, the equity you've: built up over: the years is included when determin- ing how much you can afford for anew home. Most good real estate representatives will provide you with an accurate estimate of the current market value of your home free of charge. What do you need? Deciding on what you need in a horne starts with reviewing what you like and don’t like about your ’ present accommodations. Is your current home too small? Does it need a lot of costly repairs or renovations? ts the kitchen too cramped? Now decide what you'd like in a ~ new home. Try to strike a realistic balance between what you want (which might be too expensive) and what you really need, both, now and in the future. Be specific and make a list. How many bedrooms do you need? Is a large "' lot important? Do you. want a garage? For one or two cars? Is a fireplace a priority? Ask yourself if some of the features you went are necessary you don't really need a finished recreation room right away, for in- stance, you can probably save some money on the price of the new home. ' Location Once you've determined the features of the home you want and the price you can pay, the next step is to decide where you want to live. How close do you want to be to work, schools and shopping? Do you prefer newer neighbourhoods. or more mature areas? Is it impor- tant to be near public transit or ma- jor access routes? Do’ you want ’ parks and playgrounds nearby? Drive through some of the areas 7 you think you'd like, noting the. features of each, then which ones . : compares most favourably with your list of things you want in’a community. Looking for a home Having compiled all the re- quirements, preferably in a small notebook, you're ready to start looking at homes. Discuss your _ guidelines with a real estate representative who knows the areas you like, The data you've compiled will be very useful to help him or her focus on prospective homes that ineet your needs, © When inspecting homes for sale, take your time and make detailed notes to compare with your original list of requirements. Don’t be afraid to look at a lot of possibilities, because the more you see, the better you'll understand the existing market and be able to pinpoint the home that's right for you and your family.
