Want to save a lot of aggravation and possibly a great deal of money
when you buy a house? Spend a few hours determining precisely what your needs are before you begin your house search. Before you embark on your search for the perfect
house, it is important that you make a realistic "shopping list" in an attempt to narrow your choices
of properties. Hunting for a home can be a time consuming process, especially if you have not determined in advance
the parameters of your search. Many home buyers make the mistake of misinterpreting a want as a need. As a result, they often dismiss homes that perfectly fit their needs in search for one that
has their wants.
This is not to say that you cannot have what you desire in your home--just that you must be able to differentiate
between what you truly need and what you would like to have. Note, also, that in the examples below, many wants can be changed in a particular
home (if the house doesn't have that feature now, you can change it later). Carpet color can always be changed
in the future. Unwanted lighting fixtures can be replaced with more desirable ones when time and budget allows.
