Finding your dream home always starts with a simple search and a great agent. The housing market in the Boston area can be tricky to navigate, but with the right tools, you’ll be able to score the house you have always wanted.
Create a Wishlist
At the beginning of your journey, you should create a list of wants and needs for your future home. These will be essential in guiding you and your agent’s search for a home. You should conduct some initial searches in the areas you want to live in as well as searching by price range to determine what are common features in those areas and price ranges.
When thinking about what types of features you are looking for in a home, be realistic and determine the things that are non-negotiable. If there are things about properties you find in your initial searches, write them down so you can easily refer back to the things that caught your eye. We also have some quick searches categorized by lifestyles and features that you can browse to get started.
