EVALUATING & NARROWING IT DOWN
Location: proximity to work, family, activities and other interests
Neighborhood: Are there worthwhile amenities and local activities? What are the traffic patterns, school performance data, and crime data?
Condition of the home: Are you willing to renovate or put money into the home? Are there projects that need immediate attention or can they be completed over time?
Layout: Will the flow of the home be functional for your daily tasks?
Does it 'feel' like home? Can you see yourself living there?
Other things to consider: Natural light, parking situation, architectural details, proximity to neighbors
