Checklist for House Hunting ISLAND HOUSE SELLERS

If you are thinking of buying a home in the near future, a REALTOR® can provide invaluable help in finding the right home in the right price range in the area you want to live.  Through access to the Multiple Listing Service, (MLS®) Our team membera  can give you a customized list of homes for sale that match your needs and wants and budget.
A house hunting checklist will help you keep track of the advantages and drawbacks of each home.  Ensure the checklist includes the basic information regarding location, asking price, annual property taxes, mortgage terms and any applicable zoning restrictions.

Exterior

Jot down your impressions of the exterior of the home, noting the lot size and shape, position of the home on the lot (facing north, south, east or west).  Note the condition of the landscaping and whether the yard is fenced.
Check the condition of the siding and note whether the home has an attached or detached garage.  Be sure to take a good look at the roof and note its general condition and age.  It's also important to examine the foundation of the home for any visible cracks or holes.

Interior

Note whether the home has a separate front hallway.  Check the windows to ensure they open and close easily and note the general condition of the doors.  The kitchen is an important room in any home, so pay attention to its size, the condition of the appliances, sink, cupboard space, counter tops, flooring, lighting and electrical outlets.  Be sure to ask whether any or all of the appliances are included in the sale.
It may be that a separate dining room, a family room and fireplace is important to you.  Note also the size of the bedrooms and closet space and whether there are any window coverings or adjoining bathrooms.  Also make note of the flooring and room colours.
Make notes on the number and size of bathrooms and the conditions of the fixtures. Check all faucets and flush toilets to make sure they are in good working order and to see if there is adequate water pressure.

Basement

Check whether the basement is full or partial, finished or unfinished and whether there is adequate room for walking about. Note whether there is a utility area and whether the washer and dryer are being sold with the house.  It is also very important to ask about the type of heating, water service, plumbing (copper or other), electrical amperage and insulation.
Your Island House Sellers team member will be able to help you with questions you are unsure of.  It is also a good idea to have a professional building inspector examine any home in which you are seriously interested.

Buying a Home - Your Needs and Wants

The current combination of attractive mortgage rates, home buying incentive programs and a wide selection of homes from which to choose means now is a great time to consider buying that first home or moving to something that better serves your needs.

Location, Location, Location

Location is one of the most important factors in making any real estate purchase. For example, if you work in downtown Victoria and you are comfortable with the idea of commuting, you might want to consider buying a home in one of the outlying communities where lots may be more picturesque and peaceful.  On the other hand, living closer to the city centre often means a short commute to work and easy access to shops and entertainment facilities.
When focusing on location, you will likely want to consider other important factors like the proximity of schools, access to public transit and shopping facilities, etc.

Identify Features You Need And Want

Once you have decided on the location you prefer, it is time to identify your needs so that you can zero in on the home of your choice. For instance, if your family is outgrowing its present apartment or home, you know you are going to require something bigger and more comfortable -- possibly with more bedrooms and a second bath.
In addition to your needs, you should also consider your wants -- things you would like to have if you can afford them and if they are available.  Remember, the time you take to think about these things now will prove invaluable later during your discussions with our team member

Matching Needs And Wants With Available Properties

With access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), a co-operative listing system that offers maximum exposure of homes listed for sale, Our team members can draw up a customized list of homes that as closely as possible match your needs, wants and budget in the locations of your choice.
Take your lifestyle into account and the things that could enhance or detract from your daily enjoyment. Then add these preferences to your needs or wants shopping list.  Your Island House Sellers team member will be pleased to arrange for you to see the homes for sale that appeal to you the most and will offer invaluable guidance throughout the home-buying process.
