Tips when buying a new home

Home· Living· Random

Are you searching for a new home? If so, I have a few tips for your new home search! Let’s jump right in. Here are the tips that you will want to know before buying a home:

Price range is important

First and foremost, know your price range. If you do not know your price range, then you should not be house hunting and you cannot purchase a home, so it really is just wasting everyone’s time. That’s why before you start house hunting, you absolutely need to get pre-approved so that you can learn your budget and price range. When you decide that it is time to house hunt after becoming pre-approved, let your real estate agent know your price range and make sure to only look at homes under that price range. You definitely do not want to fall in love with something you cannot have! In addition, please make sure that you know what you can truly afford. 

What can you not change about the new home?

Things such as paint colors, countertop styles, and current decor in the home definitely show off the house in a great or bad way, but try to look past all of it and instead, focus on the things that you cannot easily change such as the layout of the home, or the location. You obviously cannot change where the house is located, so make sure it is convenient to your daily activities. Also, consider the community of the neighborhood that you are looking in. 

Think investment wise

One thing that you need to consider is if your home will be a good investment, or not. You need to make sure you are looking for a home that will grow in value over time. Research the history of home values and businesses in the area – are the values rising and increasing? If so, those are great signs! Is your potential new neighborhood up and coming? Is there a college nearby? Was it popular back in the day, but now it is worn? These are all things that you should consider when purchasing a home.

Ask plenty of questions

With the right team to help, you can get a move done easily.

The time you have viewing a home (and before you close on a home) is the perfect time to ask all of the questions – and yes, I mean all of them. Asking a ton of questions while touring a home is a great way to make sure it really is your ideal home and the best fit for yourself and your family. Questions such as: how old is the roof? When were the appliances last updated? What is included in the sale (appliances, light fixtures, etc.), have there ever been any leaks? What about pest infestations? There are many questions that you can ask – and you should. 

Work on selling your home

When you prepare to list your home, take all of the questions that you thought about when buying a new home and apply them to your current home. Make improvements, remove clutter, and get your home ready to sell quickly, especially if you already found another home to buy! Do you have a ton of boxes and clothes and junk? If so, get your moving company to move it into a storage facility for you. Then, they can move your items from the storage facility to your new home when you are ready.

And when you are ready…

Texans Movers can help you with this because they specialize in residential moving in Texas! “Texans Movers LLC provides residential and commercial moving services, as well as labor services in Houston, TX, The Woodlands–Sugar Land, and surrounding areas. Whether you need our moving services for a large residential move or just need extra labor help, you can rely on us for the job,” they say. They take care of it all, including:

The right team will insure that your valuables are safe.

-Providing boxes, pads and other packing materials

-Wrapping special items for you to ensure they’re secure

-Packing your entire household, deliver it, and unpack it

-Giving you organizing tips, checklists, and perform a final sweep for forgotten items

-Loading and unloading in a certain order according to your preferences

-Providing secure, climate controlled storage for items no longer needed

When you are buying and selling a home, things can be very stressful, but with the help of Texans Movers, your move can become just a bit more stress-free!
