THE BEST HOUSE

FOR YOUR MONEY

In finding • house that's right for you and your family, you’ll want the beat house for your money. You’ll also want to consider how stretchable your budget may be, based on your current job status as well as your future prospects. For example, if you are thinking of buying a house in the $80,000 range, is it worth your while to stretch that to $100,000 in order to buy a house that will be a better investment?

Whether you’re a one-income or a two-income family will make a difference as will the percentage of your monthly income that you are willing to put into home costs. If your job prospects include expected yearly pay increases, this percentage would decrease each year.

At the same time, you can expect the value of your home to appreciate in value. Whatever your financial circumstances, discuss the situation with your Realtor. It pays to be financially frank with your Realtor.
