    For all properties listed while in the less expensive to mid-level prices, target houses with common floor plans and wonderful communities. You are able to make your personal style to your house when you finally move your stuff in.

    The mortgage lender is your next, if not your first, step in the home purchase process. They can tell you what you will need as a down payment, in closing costs and if you have any credit issues that need to be cleaned up prior to getting a loan. Starting with the mortgage lender will save you both a headache and a heartache. Nothing worse than finding a home you love, only to find out you can't afford it.

    Now it's time to really dig in with your Realtor and see what's available in your price range with qualities that you are looking for in a home. Your real estate professional should be well versed in many areas and be able to guide you on things such as local schools, shopping and commute times. They should create a home search that incorporates other things like bedrooms, baths, garages and year built. Being too specific may shortchange your search, so be a bit flexible until you get a better idea of what your real estate market has to offer.

    Your agent is now out showing your favorite homes to you, all found on the home search they initially set up. If you find one that you want to buy, your real estate broker needs to do a bit more research for you.

    So, you find your dream home and now you don't know how much to offer. Talk with your real estate broker and they will research the area home prices and together you will create an offer to purchase. This is the true beginning of negotiations.

    If the home you placed a bid on is one of the best you have seen, chances are that it will have multiple offers placed on it. Be reasonable with your offer or you will lose the house to another buyer that is. Make sure that you're ready to lose the house over a few thousand dollars.

    For any property that has a land value to it, it is wise to go ahead and get a survey done. This is true for those homes with fenced back yards and clearly staked borders. You'll find your survey a thing of beauty and a protection to you when it comes to title insurance. Without the survey, it is possible that you will end up with a dispute on the land, with your new neighbors. Let the existing seller deal with the issue, as encroachment will need to be cleared up prior to settlement. This issue can also throw you a curve ball right before you take possession, as the bank will not want their loan in a dispute regarding boundaries.

    To those of you that are experienced home purchasers, I hope this guide didn't bore you. It's intent was to jog your memory, share new techniques with you, and perhaps even present a few good techniques on the most effective way to go about finding and purchasing a home in today's housing market.
