What Young Couples Should Know when House Hunting

Buying a home is complicated. There are a lot of moving parts, lots of paperwork, and lots of important things to keep in mind. It can be a bit of an overload. If you keep everything you need, what you’re looking for in a home, and how many homes you’ve seen straight, you’ll be much more at ease when it comes time to make an offer. It’s hard to know how many homes to look at and what’s normal when you’re a couple buying their first home, so we’re here with some tips.

Specifics

It’s important to know what you want in a home before you go out hunting. If you’re dazzled by additional features, the features you initially wanted might go out the window. It’s crucial to keep those features a high priority, because you might wind up with a home farther away from amenities or work than you had previously wished. Know what you’re willing to compromise on in a property and what’s negotiable for you.

Keep showings straight

While the typical number of houses people look at is 8-10, you have to look at the right amount for you. Talk to your Bend Oregon Real Estate Broker and help them find the perfect property. Maybe you’ll only need to look at one property, or maybe it’ll take more than 10, but it’s important to talk to your broker about what you want, so that you have better chances of finding your dream home.

Repeat Viewings

If you think a specific property might be perfect for you, ask to see it again. Shopping for a home ideally would give you the time you need to see a home over and over again, but with an aggressive market like Central Oregon, you’ll have to move quicker than that, so you don’t lose out on the perfect home.
In your search if you think you’ve found the top two properties, as your Bend realtor to see them again. Don’t wait too long to go see them, and if you really do love them, don’t wait too long to put in an offer. Be assertive about the properties you love, or you risk losing them.

Your Realtor

There’s a lot to keep straight when you’re house hunting, but finding the perfect realtor can make a world of difference. When you have a realtor that understands exactly what you want in a home, they’re more likely to find the perfect property for you.
