Home Buying Needs and Wants


When it comes to buying a home one of the important steps is to determine exactly what you need and want and home. We'll revisit those two words shortly, but your REALTOR® will ask you questions revolving around them when it comes to finding you just the right home. After you get your mortgage pre-approval it is time to start your search for homes for sale in Windsor. How do you start the narrow down your options once your price range has been decided? Well first lets look at a list of questions to ask yourself when looking for homes. 

  • How many bedrooms?
  • How many bathrooms?
  • Ideal square footage?
  • Should the home be in a particular school district or neighbourhood?
  • Do you need to be close to certain amenities (shopping, gym, parks, etc.)?
  • Is there a particular style of house you want? (i.e., townhome, semi-detached, bungalow, two-storey, split-level, etc.)
  • Do you want a finished basement or one with a separate entrance?
  • Do you require a garage or space for parking?
  • Do you want a large yard, or do you prefer a low-maintenance property?
  • Do you want a move-in ready home, or are you willing to renovate?
  • Do you want a pool, fireplace, central AC, etc.?

From these answers you will need to then decide an important distinction. Remember those two words, needs and wants, this is where they become an important piece of the puzzle. You need to decide what items are needs, meaning any house you see, offer on, or otherwise want to buy, has. Or is it a want, meaning, you'd like to have it when you buy, but ultimately it will not deter you from viewing, offering, or buying the home. This list can always change, but it is important to consider your needs and wants so that you view the best homes for you and your needs (and maybe wants). Once you answer these questions, the Windsor home search can begin.
