Take Time When Buying a House

Prior to buying a house, prospective buyers need to give themselves more time before they come to any home buying conclusions. In this article from The Detroit News, the author wants buyers to pay attention to these five secrets to buying the best house for their money. Prominent among these are getting pre-approved for the mortgages rather than being pre-qualified, selling your current abode, then buy a new one, making a list of things you want in the new place and checking it twice, looking for traffic noise, power lines, community lawsuits, anything that might make an abode less desirable than it appears to be. Further the author adds that if someone promises you a great deal be wary and ask lots of questions. [Lynne Schreiber, The Detroit News, May 26, 2006]
