Answering the following questions may assist you in determining the most important features you would like in your next home. It is important to prioritize your needs in housing and also recognize that compromising on less important features will help in narrowing your selection of homes. Remember that there is no "perfect" house.

1. Are there features in your current home that you would like in your next home?

• What are they?

2. Do you have a floor plan preference?

• I.E. do you want to have a dining and living room area, master bedroom away from other bedrooms, open floor plan, etc.

3. Do you prefer single story, two-story, or multi-level living?

• When considering this, you may want to take into account how long you plan on living there (would stairs ever be an issue?) and who you will have visit.

4. Do you want a yard?

• If so, how big, how small?

5. Are you looking for a maintenance free lifestyle? 

• If yes,you may want to consider places, such as condos, where yard maintenance is usually included in HOA fees.  If condos aren't for you , then make sure you factor in how much you would have to pay for maintenance if don't want to have to do your own.
