I have been thinking about what to say for my first real estate related blog. I thought I would talk about what I say to buyers as they are looking for homes to buy. I always say, do me a favor, take the home off the lot and concentrate on the lot itself!! Do you like the location? Do you like the shape and the contour of the lot? Is it isolated; is it on the busy corner? You are buying a location, not a house!! Sometimes, buyers will be enthralled with the inside of a brand new house with all the bells and whistles. They don't concentrate on the outside. A new house gets old, but the location remains the same. My advice is to first find the desired location and be open to a home that may not have all updates desired. A home can be changed to suit your needs, but you can't change where it is. If you say to yourself, if only I could move the house, don't buy the house.Take the house off the lot!!
