Here are a few other things to consider that might help you decide...<br /><br />1) You can always "cute-ify" the home and make it more "gnomey". You can't, however, make it closer to the town you love. You don't want to move into your dream house and then decide it's really not your dream after all because you have to drive 12 miles for milk.<br /><br />2) In addition to considering initial fix-up costs, take a look at maintenance costs as well. Will it need more or less regular upkeep? High or low maintenance yard? Gas driving back and forth to places? Availability of the type of services you want (high speed internet, water vs. well, etc)<br /><br />3) The houses around your prospect home... good ones? Bad ones? How is the resale of the neighborhood? If you decided to sell it again would it sell well? Is it the best house on the street? The worst? In the middle? (Generally you want to be NOT the best house on the street, but a medium or lower house on a street that is improving.)<br /><br />4) If it's a place you plan to stay for a while go talk to the neighbors. That might make your decision for you in a good way or bad way.<br /><br />(That's probably way more info than you want, but I'm a Realtor, so I can't help myself!)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115002505324651653noreply@blogger.com
