DISTANCE TO:
Transit
Family/Friends
Work
Childcare
Schools
Grocery Store
Making sure you're walking or driving distance to important places should be one of your top priorities. Remember, you can change the floor but you can't change the location!
TYPE OF HOME:
Condo
OR
Freehold
When deciding if you'd like to buy a condo or a freehold home there are a few things to consider. How much space do you actually need? Do you value outdoor space? Have you taken into consideration condo fees? These are all things that your Realtor will discuss with you.
HOW MANY/IF ANY?
Bedrooms
Bathrooms
Garages
Backyard
Pool
Now onto the part that everyone loves - how many bedrooms, bathrooms, balconies, backyard space, etc... do you need/want? Think about your current living situation, what would you like to change or not change?
Restaurants
Parks
Family Friendly
Shops
Your Neighbourhood should be somewhere where you feel safe and welcome. Looking to stay within a specific school district? Start by looking at homes within that school zone. If you love to go out to eat, maybe choose a Neighbourhood with multiple restaurants.
BUDGET!
Get Pre-Approval
Stay within Your Budget
We can't say this enough - get your pre-approval before you start shopping! Having a set budget will help you and your Realtor find the home of your dreams without breaking the bank.
