The Home Buyer Checklist identifies some of the important
factors to consider when choosing a home. In addition to an
affordable sales price, you will also want to be sure that the
neighborhood and house meet the needs of your family.
Take this checklist along when you go shopping for your
house. It will help you evaluate the neighborhoods and
assess the availability and condition of various features of
up to three homes in a side by side comparison.
