5. Attend Open Houses:
Open houses are a great way to explore potential properties and get a feel for the neighbourhood. Take advantage of this opportunity to see multiple homes in a short period and envision your future life in each space.
6. Thorough Inspections:
Don’t overlook the importance of a comprehensive home inspection. Ensure that you’re aware of any potential issues or repairs needed before making an offer.
7. Stay Cool in Negotiations:
It’s essential to stay calm and composed during negotiations. Work closely with your agent to make strategic offers and avoid overpaying for your dream home.

Consider year-round living potential. Evaluate the homes features that will bring joy and comfort not only in the sunny season but also during the colder months.
