the home meets the majority of your criteria, especially if it checks all your “must-have” boxes and most of your wants, then you might have just found your perfect home.
POINTS TO REMEMBER:
• If you’ve lost your home, either through foreclosure auction or a sale to prevent foreclosure, you will likely have immediate needs for a place to live and daily necessities. • A HUD-approved housing counselor can assist with your housing questions, and your state or local department of social services can help direct you to resources such as food stamps. • Consider whether you want to rent a new home or if you’re in a position to buy one. • Before beginning your search for a new home, visualize what you need and what you want. Your needs are non- negotiable requirements. Your wants are items you desire but on which you can compromise. • There is no single pathway to finding the “one” home for you. • Being clear on your needs and wants will save you time in your home search and assist you in finding a home that’s a better fit for you and your family.
