Decide what you want to buy.
First, decide where you want to live.
Urban – City Life. Some people enjoy it but others aren’t cut out for this fast paced style of living. You will have the convenience of everything at your doorstep however you will be paying a premium for that luxury. Prices generally increase and square footage generally decreases the closer you get to the city. You will also have the widest range of housing options.
Suburban- Bigger is better. Larger properties, larger backyards, newer schools, newer shopping centres. Less public transit and possibly more driving time to get to work.
Smaller Cities and Towns - There are many wonderful self-contained communities, and compared to the big city, you can save a bundle.
Rural – Land is a commodity in certain areas so having acres of it can’t hurt. Maybe a good cottage property or just a get away from the everyday.
Next, decide what type of home you want. By now, you probably have a good idea of what type of home is right for you. To familiarize you with the terminology, here's a quick overview:
Single-family detached - As the name implies, the home is not attached to the home next door. Styles range from a single-story suburban bungalow, to a three-story Victorian.
Semi-detached or linked - Two houses that share a common wall. Usually less money than a fully detached home.
Duplex - A two-family home.
Town house - Also known as terrace or row housing. Several homes with a common style and joined in a row. They usually share walls on both sides.
The Condo Alternative - Some people can't wait to start gardening on Sunday morning. If you are not one of those people, it's just an elevator ride away. Condos also make a great first home purchase because they're often thousands of dollars less than a detached home. How Condos are owned You'll own 100% of your unit, and a share of the common areas. Common areas include the necessary plumbing, electrical systems, hallways and elevators. They may also include lots of fun stuff like a private gym or party room. Condo fees. Membership has its privileges, and it costs. On top of your mortgage and property taxes, condo owners also pay a monthly fee to operate and maintain the common areas. Be sure to look into condo fees, and how well they're managed, before signing anything.
