New Home Requirements
Prior to commencing your house hunting, it is very important to have a realistic "shopping list"so you have a clear idea about what kind of house you want. Narrowing the parameters of your search will make the search process a lot easier and far more pleasant. When searching for a new home many people focus on what they want and tend to forget about what they need. This can often result in overlooking an ideal property that would adequately satisfy all their needs. Before you begin your house hunting write a list of all your needs and wants. Generally, needs are features of the house, where as wants add comfort and lifestyle and can be added at a later date.
Investigate local prices What areas of town have the sorts of home you are looking for? Are the asking prices or the amounts being achieved at auction within your budget? If not then you will have to re-evaluate. Look in neighbouring, less fashionable suburbs. Often this is where you will find value for your money as less fashionable suburbs eventually catch up. When working out your budget try to be realistic and balance your needs and wants with what you can actually afford:
How important are quality neighbourhood schools?

How many Catholic or other non government schools are close to the property you are thinking of buying? Checklist Download the Seller Solutions Home Hunting checklist as a PDF.
