How to choose a home

It would seem that there should not be anything particularly complicated in the process of choosing real estate. Just go and buy what you like. What is easier? Yes, I did not forget at the same time, as you are sure that you must also have time to keep an eye on the boundaries of the family budget.

We are, of course, very different and for some people the selection of housing does not constitute any difficulty whatsoever. For example, only in my practice I recall at least 3-4 cases when the first meeting with a client, by the evening, developed into the process of buying real estate for them. By the way, if you think that these people are absolutely or partially not normal, then, believe me, you are very mistaken. Such a group of buyers simply regards the acquisition of a house as a solution to their housing problem, and nothing more. As a result, certain additional details regarding the real estate itself are no longer so important for them.

For other buyers, choosing a home on the contrary is quite a difficult matter, where the final decision is given to them very, very difficult. All this in a worldly way, however, is quite natural. For someone, always, something is incredibly difficult to do.

For starters, universal for everyone, and at the same time extremely simple advice. Try to still relate to the choice of real estate without undue complexity. Of course, buying a house was, is and will remain a rather serious task, which no one was going to deny. Nevertheless, this is certainly not the end of the world, and it is unlikely that the decision to purchase one housing will turn your whole future life upside down. Do not be surprised that having lived in your “unique” house for several years, you may find that you could live with no less pleasure and in a pretty house opposite.

All real estate in Canada, with rare exceptions, is quite tightly balanced in price. In other words, if you look at home in the same price range, within the same area, then you will come across approximately the same property every time, especially when it comes to areas with typical buildings. No, a noticeable difference, even for the consumer’s eyes, in the prices of such houses, of course, exists. However, we will not take such housing into account at all, because it is usually not competitive in any case. The aforementioned about the balance of the market, related to real estate, competently calculated by realtors, and as a result, offered for sale at the right price.

By the way, how long do you think people who want to buy a house choose for themselves? From my professional experience, on average, from two weeks to a month, in slightly more unusual cases, at the level of one and a half to two months. According to this, if after 90-100 days it was still not possible to pick up a house that was in the least, I can only offer my client two options to choose from.

It is necessary to revise the budget framework for the purchase of real estate, that is, start looking at homes in a slightly different price range. If money is still in the first place, then the only thing left to do is to bring its ambitions in line with financial capabilities.

In general, the idea so far said is extremely simple. Of course, no one is pushing you to buy something in haste, just to grab it anyhow. However, if you stubbornly wait for the eighth wonder of the world to appear on the market, at a price of 40% Off, then this may not be enough for me or your life. The final decision to buy this or that house is especially difficult for people buying for the first time, that is, those who are called that way – “First time buyers”. Here is a standard, with enviable regularity, repeating mistake of a typical novice buyer. Having met a more or less suitable house, many begin to think hard whether it is worth buying it, or still looking for one more. I clearly like the house, and at the same time there are a number of doubts, or the usual human indecision simply interferes. As a result, the final decision is sometimes delayed by a day or two, or even a whole week. It is not uncommon by the end of this period, having added up all the pros and cons, people are even more convinced that the house is worth buying. Lost in thought, many at this moment, completely forget about the presence of competition. After all, the house is in a state of sale, which means that it was examined yesterday, today, and will be evaluated tomorrow by other, no less serious buyers. Unfortunately, too long reflections on the topic of “take – do not take”, often lead to a sad situation when there is nothing more to discuss, because the house has just been bought by someone else.
