If you are thinking of buying a home in the near<br />
future, a REALTOR can provide invaluable help in<br />
finding the right home in the right price range in the<br />
area you want to live. Through access to the<br />
Multiple Listing Service, (MLS(r)) a REALTOR can<br />
give you a customized list of homes for sale that<br />
match your needs and wants and budget.<br />
A house hunting checklist will help you<br />
keep track of the advantages and<br />
drawbacks of each home. Ensure the<br />
checklist includes the basic information<br />
regarding location, asking price, annual<br />
property taxes, mortgage terms and any<br />
applicable zoning restrictions.<br />
Exterior<br />
Jot down your impressions of the<br />
exterior of the home, noting the lot size<br />
and shape, position of the home on the<br />
lot (facing north, south, east or west).<br />
Note the condition of the landscaping<br />
and whether the yard is fenced.<br />
Check the condition of the siding and note whether<br />
the home has an attached or detached garage. Be<br />
sure to take a good look at the roof and note its<br />
general condition and age. It’s also important to<br />
examine the foundation of the home for any visible<br />
cracks or holes.<br />
Interior<br />
Note whether the home has a separate front<br />
hallway. Check the windows to ensure they open<br />
and close easily and note the general condition of<br />
the doors. The kitchen is an important room in any<br />
home, so pay attention to its size, the condition of<br />

the appliances, sink, cupboard space, counter tops,<br />
flooring, lighting and electrical outlets. Be sure to<br />
ask whether any or all of the appliances are included<br />
in the sale.<br />
It may be that a separate dining room, a family room<br />
and fireplace is important to you. Note also the size<br />
of the bedrooms and closet space and whether<br />
there are any window coverings or adjoining<br />
bathrooms. Also make note of the flooring<br />
and room colours.<br />
Make notes on the number and size of<br />
bathrooms and the conditions of the<br />
fixtures. Check all faucets and flush toilets<br />
to make sure they are in good working<br />
order and to see if there is adequate water<br />
pressure.<br />
Basement<br />
Check whether the basement is full or<br />
partial, finished or unfinished and whether<br />
there is adequate room for walking about.<br />
Note whether there is a utility area and<br />
whether the washer and dryer are being<br />
sold with the house. It is also very important to ask<br />
about the type of heating, water service, plumbing<br />
(copper or other), electrical amperage and<br />
insulation.<br />
Your REALTOR will be able to help you with<br />
questions you are unsure of. It is also a good idea<br />
to have a professional building inspector examine<br />
any home in which you are seriously interested.<br />
