With prices still high and inventory tightening, here are some suggestions if you are planning to buy in this market.
Get pre-approved. This is the most important step. You want to know where you are financially, what you can afford, and what price ranges to look for. Try not to spend outside of your means, you don't want to be stuck eating PB&J sandwiches on the floor of your new home.
Dial in where you want to live. This isn't easy until you actually start visiting the towns you're considering. Go out to eat there, walk around the downtown, talk to locals. Get a feel for the town vibe. Also, review recent sales and inventory data in those towns so your expectations remain grounded and realistic.
Refine your search. As start touring you will see a mix of homes, some you'll love, some you won't. Figure out which those are and adjust your searches accordingly. For example, you dislike colonial style homes, but prefer bi-levels and ranches.
