Many home buyers, especially first-time buyers, can feel overwhelmed when searching for a home. There are often hundreds of listings on the market at once. In our area alone, there are more than a thousand listings available in Plymouth, Canton, and Northville Michigan!
Picking a home that can accommodate you and your guests can be another challenge. You may want an open floor plan that easily flows from the front door to the kitchen and living area. You might prefer a finished basement. Or you may want a large backyard.
Don’t worry! We have three easy steps to help you find your next home.
1. Pick Your Price Range
The first step of any home search is figuring out what you can afford. To recap our previous blog post about home financing from earlier this year, you can determine your ideal price range by creating a budget, checking your credit, and getting pre-approved for a mortgage.
2. Pick Your Ideal Location
Do you have a community in mind? Each area has its own features that you may want to take advantage of. Canton, for instance, is home to Michigan’s only IKEA. If you need help choosing a place to live, you can always read our area guides or call us at (734) 459-2600.
3. Pick Your Favorite Features
Many buyers in the Canton and Plymouth area tend to search for homes with walkout basements or large yards. That’s why we created this easy home search tool.
You can search by price and location and refine your search by square footage, or choose from the most popular homes.
Don’t See Your Favorite Home? Don’t Worry!
It could be that the home with your ideal entertaining area isn’t on the market yet. You can save your search by signing up for a Property Organizer. That way you can get email updates any time a home with your favorite features is listed for sale.
