Take your time

The size of the rooms, interior layout, size of the yard and sale price are not the only things to consider.

• Will your home meet your family's needs 10 years from now?
• Is the property located in a well-established or promising neighbourhood?
• How far will you/your children have to travel to get to work/school?
• Will you need a second car?
• Do you prefer to live in the country, the city or the suburbs?
• Make a budget-and follow it.
• Determine your needs and draw up selection criteria.
• Explore the neighbourhoods that interest you.
• Visit several properties and ask questions.
• Request a second or third visit if the property really interests you.
