Boise Idaho Realtor, Ava Tong, tells us how to prepare for house hunting.<\/h2>\nBoise Idaho Realtor, Ava Tong, tells us how to prepare for house hunting.<\/h2>\nWe all know Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley is one of the best places to live<\/a>.\u00a0 So, let’s find you a home in Boise.\u00a0 “Searching for a house to buy can be daunting, and most of the homes you see won’t be what you’re looking for ” according to HGTV.\u00a0 They suggest being aware of some house hunting mistakes to avoid<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ava Tong is a lifelong resident of the Treasure Valley, with over 37 years of real estate investing and assisting folks in the decision making processes of selling and buying. Ava offers a few suggestions to prepare you for house hunting in Boise, or wherever you heart leads you to find the best home for your family.<\/p>\n If you find the perfect home now, don\u2019t risk losing it because you\u2019re trying to guess where the housing market and interest rates are going. Those factors usually don\u2019t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual home\u2019s price.<\/p>\n It\u2019s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but too many ideas from too many people will make it much harder to make a decision. Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in the home.<\/p>\n If it\u2019s in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. The kitchen may be perfect, but the roof needs repair. Make a list of your top priorities and focus in on things that are most important to you. Let the minor ones go. Also, accept that a little buyer\u2019s remorse is inevitable and will most likely pass.<\/p>\n Negotiation is definitely a part of the real estate process, but trying to \u201cwin\u201d by getting an extra-low price or refusing to budge may cost you the home you love.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself that you forget about important issues such as noise level, access to amenities, and other aspects that also have a big impact on your quality of life.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t wait until you\u2019ve found a home to get approved for a mortgage, investigate insurance, or consider a moving schedule. Being prepared will make your bid more attractive to sellers.<\/p>\n A home is still considered a great investment, but its most important role is as a comfortable, safe place to live.<\/p>\n Website:\u00a0\u00a0 FindYourHomeinBoise.com<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Boise Idaho Realtor, Ava Tong, tells us how to prepare for house hunting.

Accept that no house is ever perfect.<\/h3>\n
Don\u2019t try to be a killer negotiator.<\/h3>\n
Remember your home doesn\u2019t exist in a vacuum.<\/h3>\n
Plan ahead.<\/h3>\n
Choose a home first because you love it; then think about appreciation.<\/h3>\n
