Here are the six things that every homebuyer needs to consider during their search:

1. Location, location, location. It’s no joke. Where you buy your home is as important as anything. Make sure the location is good before you make an offer.

2. Don’t buy your forever home first. Try out a starter home, find out what you like and don’t like, then use the equity you build up in that home to buy your dream home next.

3. Buy in moderation. Just because you’re approved by a lender for a certain purchase price doesn’t mean that you have to hit that max. There are going to be other costs, like insurance and closing costs, that you’ll need to have some money saved up for. Don’t spend it all just on the house.

Just because you’re approved for a certain purchase price doesn’t mean you have to hit the limit.

4. Don’t wait until spring. If you’re ready to buy this fall or winter, there will be some great bargains out there in the market.

5. Be open to areas outside of town. If you’re willing to live out in the country a bit or over in the North Georgia area, you might be able to get more house for your money.

6. Find out your buying style. If you’re looking for trendy things, what’s going to happen when you’re tired of that trend? Think about a home in terms of if you’ll still be happy with it five years down the road.
