A guide for buyers outlines ten steps to homeownership. It covers motivations affordability neighborhood choice and whether to buy old or new, plus selecting a reputable agent or architect and understanding basic construction and systems.
For about $25 hire a local appraiser to inspect an old house, identify defects, and estimate value. If building, obtain estimates from three or more builders after checking reputations to ensure quality and cost accuracy.
The guide urges buyers to agree on hundreds of details before purchasing a home. Check if appliances are included, who pays pending assessments, and price extras for construction. Hire a lawyer and insist on written terms to guard against bad bargains and avoid post signing debt.
