Finding the right home to move into is incredibly important. It’s where you live, eat, work, and play. Your home is your own little fortress, so finding the right one to fit your needs is paramount.

Below are some steps to follow so that you can avoid buying the wrong home:

1. Get pre-approved: Get your finances in order so that you know what you can afford. It’s much easier to look at homes when you have a set price range.
2. Determine what size and amenities would suit you: How big is your family? Are you expecting it to grow? What about a garage? Focus on things you absolutely must have (like bedrooms and storage space) and save other things for later (pools, fitness rooms).
3. Pay attention to location: Would you like to be close to the walking path or the lake? If you have young children, which school district do you prefer?

4. How are you going to use your home? Are you a chef? Or are you more inclined towards projects that might require an outdoor workshop? Think about how the home will or will not suit your needs and interests.
5. Consider the bones of the home: How is the structure? Does the home flow well? If you don’t like the flow or the arrangement of rooms, then you might want to look elsewhere because those aren’t easy changes to make down the road. If you’re willing to make updates, then you might have to do some tough thinking.

If you consider these five things, then you should find a home that is suited towards your current needs. You cannot fall in love with a home because it has a pool and a home theater, you have to think about your day-to-day life and how your home will accommodate that.
