Are you undecided on the right home for you? Before purchasing a home, you need to determine whether the home you have decided on is the right home for you. We are here to assist you with this decision, however there are a few items to consider beforehand:

How Long are you Planning on Living in the Home? In order to cover your selling costs and recover the cost of your home, you should plan on staying in your new home for an average of 3 to 4 years. Depending on economic factors, this time can either be lengthened or shortened.

How Long will the Home Meet Your Needs? Make sure that your home will meet your space requirements both now and in the future, depending on how long you plan to live there. Can the den be converted to a bedroom? Will the spare room be appropriate for a dining room? Renovating your home may accommodate your expanding or shrinking family.

Is the House the Right Price? Determine whether the home is a good fit for your financial situation. Many financial institutions will pre-qualify you for a mortgage even before you begin your home search. This will help to determine what price range you can afford. In addition, try the Mortgage Calculator available on our website to help you determine the right price.

What is the Physical Condition of the House?Always keep in mind that your house will require repairs. If these costs are of concern, make sure to choose a home that will reflect your renovation budget. As well, home inspections are very important in order to help reduce such unexpected costs.

Are you thinking about that perfect house and wondering what it will take to make it your own? When you decide that it is time to start the negotiation process there are a few key rules to keep in mind:
- Be assertive and aggressive. Question what you are told. If you do not agree with what is being said, speak up. This is an important decision and involves a great financial responsibility on your part. Make sure you are getting what you need.- Be patient and give the appearance that you would be willing to walk away. Be prepared for this process to take some time. Do not show your desperation, no matter how much you love the property.- Become a good and prepared listener. Make sure you know the property before entering the negotiations. Listening to what is being said is much more effective if you have prepared yourself prior to entering the negotiations.

The negotiations can be a time consuming and sometimes frustrating process. Remember to take the time to think rationally. Time is on your side and chances are the seller is just as eager to sell as you are to buy.
