What kind of home and where? Given your price range and monthly budget, decide what kind of home you want/need: size, location, special features (such as pool, garage or fence), etc. Unlike many other parts of the country, South Florida (Broward, Miami-Dade) has a myriad of style choices ranging from single family homes to condos; from co-ops to villas; from townhomes to dockominiums. Before you buy a home, you will also want to consider school districts and other factors that are important to you and your family. Consider that you buy a home as an investment. What will make your home attractive to purchasers when you are ready to sell? A couple without children would not be interested in local schools for themselves, but the quality of local schools may be an important factor when they want to sell the house. A good RealtorŪ should provide you with information on local schools and crime patterns, as I have on my website. I can also discuss what factors are especially important for buyers and for sellers.
