STEP 1
New Home Needs

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a new home! Your first step toward buying your
new home will be to analyze your needs. Cynthia DaSilva can assist in analyzing your needs so
that you will be able to get a clear picture of exactly what you want your new home to look like
and how it should function for you and your family.          
First, you should write down why you are looking for a new home. For example, are you currently
renting and would like to have a home where you can begin building equity? Maybe you recently
married and have outgrown your current residence. Or, maybe you have just gotten a promotion,
which requires you to move to a new city. These factors will all have a bearing on how you
approach your home search.
Second, establish a time frame that you would like to stay within for buying your home.
Depending on your reasons for wanting a new home and the current state of the market in the
area you are looking to buy, you should be able to come up with a rough guideline, which you can
finalize at a later time.
Last, you most likely have a mental picture of what you would like your house to look like and
what features it should have. It's very important to write these ideas down to avoid any ambiguity
later in your home search. You should make at least two lists: one should be a list describing
your dream home and the other should list the features of the home that are an absolute must
have in order to buy it. In a perfect world, your new home would fulfill both lists 100 percent. It is
more likely that you will end up blending the two lists into a schedule of prioritized items as you
progress through the buying process. This is a natural and evolutionary process as you get
clearer about what you want and what is available.
