STEP 3


Learn The Neighborhood

Now that you have your list of needs and wants and you know how much you can afford to spend,
it's time to look at some houses! Not just yet. Step back for a moment and consider the larger
picture. People don't just buy a house; they buy the neighborhood the house is in. Think about
that...if you found the perfect house but it was in a neighborhood that wasn't to your liking, would
you make an offer on it? Most likely the answer would be, "No."          
So, you will need to make another list of what type of neighborhood you want to live in. You will
most likely want to consider things like how living in the neighborhood will affect your drive time
to and from work, what amenities are offered (swimming pool, tennis courts, park, etc.), and, if to
and from work, what amenities are offered (swimming pool, tennis courts, park, etc.), and, if how
close the schools are. You may even want to make two lists just as you did with your home
criteria.criteria.

Cynthia DaSilva can help you consolidate the information from your list of needs and wants for
your home, your preapproval, and your list of needs and wants for the neighborhood. From this,
you can incorporate this information into a broad search profile, which will then be narrowed
down to specific areas dictated by the market in which you will be looking. Cynthia's experience
in local markets will be an invaluable resource during this step.
