Decide On Your Needs & Wants - Part 2 of 9

Let's start by making (3) three columns...

Column 1 List "Must Have" Features:
- A specific neighborhood or school district
- (3) three bedroom or (2) two car garage
- Zoning restrictions ~ if you want to run a home-based business
- (1) one story or (2) story house
- Etc.

Column 2 List Features that "You Would Like":
- A deck or a swimming pool
- Whirlpool tubs or walk-in closets
- A particular type of architectural style
- Central air conditioning
- Etc.

Column 3 List Features that you "Do Not Want":
- A home next to a busy highway
- A certain type of architecture
- Homes that need too many improvements

Once you're done making this list, I would cross-reference this list with your significant other. And if you're lists don't match, it's time to start engaging in a little compromise until you're both in agreement.

Once you're both happy that you've reached an agreeable list, buying a home won't be so difficult since you know what you want. Now it's just a matter of consulting with your local Realtor to discuss the market in your particular desired area. And for that you can visit the Realtor's Corner. Remember, real estate is a localized market!
