Housing Needs
Your home should fit the way you live, with spaces and features that appeal to the whole family. Before you begin looking at homes, make a list of your priorities - things like location and size. Should the house be close to certain schools? your job? to public transportation? How large should the house be? What type of lot do you prefer? What kinds of amenities are you looking for? Establish a set of minimum requirements and a wish list. Minimum requirements are things that a house must have for you to consider it, while a wish list covers things that you'd like to have but aren't essential.
