Top 6 House-Hunting Tips to Help You Make

the Right Choice

Finding and buying the right home among the

many Candlewood Lake homes will take time.

There are many things that you have to consider

and remember as you visit each potential

property. You need to recall the features of each

home to determine which house will suit your

needs best. Read on for some tips on how to stay

on track while house hunting.

1. Create a comparison chartIt will be difficult to keep track of all the features of the lakefront properties in Candlewood Lake you have seen. You can make things easier by creating a comparison chart or checklist. Make sure to bring it along so you can make notes on it during or immediately after each tour.

Include notes not just on the basics but also on other important features such landscaping, roof condition, storage space, and cost per square foot. This comparison chart can guide you in your decision making.

2. Bring furniture measurements

To avoid future problems, don’t forget to bring

furniture measurements. This will save you from

spending thousands of dollars if you have to

purchase new furniture that would fit into each

room of the house you are eyeing. Check if the

size of the rooms is compatible with the pieces of

furniture you are planning to bring with you.

3. Open the closets and cupboards

Proper storage is an important factor you should

not overlook. It can affect how a home looks and

feels, especially when you are already living in it.

When touring homes for sale in Candlewood

Lake, note the number and size of cupboards and

closets throughout the property. While you are at

it, don’t be afraid to peek inside.

4. Factor in travel timeAside from your comparison chart, it will also be helpful if you will create a list of the places you regularly visit. Make sure to consider the order of importance. Your list will most likely include your work commute, schools, parks, and other places that are regular stops. Remember that you are not just buying a property. You are also committing to a new travel arrangement so make sure the distance will suit you.

5. Check for damaged flooringDon’t hesitate to lift up the area rugs when touring home. While this is not something you necessarily want to do, this will help you check if the home is in good condition. Sometimes, rugs and furniture may be used to conceal damaged flooring. If you are seriously considering buying the home, you have every right to see its real condition. Just don’t forget to inform the real estate agent of your intention so he can accommodate you.

6. Review your notesAfter viewing several properties, it’s time to review your summaries. With your notes, you can easily compare the homes that you have seen. Revisit your narrowed down choices and take time to consider the pros and cons of each home.
