Finding a house
To find and buy a house, many people work with a real estate agent. He or she has access to data that shows which houses are for sale and at what price, as well as details such as house and lot size and number of rooms. The more detailed you are about what you want, the easier the househunting process will be.
Consider the following:
- How much square footage is the house?
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms does it have?
- How much storage space exists?
- Does it have a large or small yard?
As you look for a house, consider neighborhood factors such as public schools, parks and community centers, economic centers, shopping areas, and crime rates.
