Checklist 1: Know Your Budget and Lifestyle Needs

Before you start house hunting, get a clear vision on both your finances and your future lifestyle. This will help you prioritize your must-haves and make smarter decisions in a competitive market.

Finances:
  • Are you pre-approved for a mortgage?
  • What’s your price range?
  • How much do you have saved for a down payment?
  • Do the estimated monthly payments fit comfortably within your budget?
  • Have you budgeted for closing costs?
  • Do you have emergency savings in place?
Lifestyle Needs:
  • Do you need space for a future nursery or home office?
  • Do you need a garage, or is street parking enough?
  • Any special features for pets (e.g., fenced yard)?
  • How long do you plan to stay in this home?
  • Is wheelchair access or limited stairs important?
