I'm often asked: "When should we start looking for a home?" That's a question that is easily answered. Right now! However, how you start looking for a home is a different answer. The answer is dependent upon your particular situation. For instance, if you currently have a home that you would need to sell prior to buying a new home then your time would most likely be best spent searching for homes that catch your interest on the web through a home search tool like the one I provide on my website. You can begin to get an ideal of the type of home you would like to have, as well as, the neighborhoods that you would consider living in. If the house is within a reasonable distance from you then you can even drive past it and get a feel for the neighborhood.
If you don't have to sell your home in order to buy a new one, then your search process should get a little more involved. You can begin, once again, online, but you can then begin to have me set up appointments to see the houses and tour them. The difference being, of course, you are more capable of purchasing the home in that position rather than in the other.
By waiting to tour the homes until you are actually ready to purchase, you are being courteous to the potential home sellers. Nobody likes to get their home ready to show and find a place to go while it's being shown for somebody who cannot possibly purchase the home.
So, when should you start looking for a home? Right now! You can begin right here!
