Let's Go Shopping
Have a general idea of what you are looking for. Chances are that you will not get everything you want, but list your priorities such as needing to be near a specific school, nearby shopping, single or 2-story, acreage or subdivision, large or small back yard, new or fixer, etc. If you are new to the area, take some time to drive around to see what areas are most appealing to you, pick up a community paper and go to a few of the events they list. Talk to people in the area. Walk around and have dinner.
The main things to check for in a home are the foundation and the roof. If the doors aren't square with the jamb or the floors slope, there might be foundation problems. Roofs with missing, wavy or cupped shingles could mean that the roof has leaked or could leak in the future. Water stains on the ceiling indicate a leaky roof.
The best way to know what is available on the market is to contact me or go to "search local listings" on this Website. I have access to all available properties and I can give you the the specifics on each as well as their history.
