Location
The location you choose to purchase your home might be the most important factor. There are many different homes to choose from in Charlotte, NC. Remember if there are imperfections in your home or if you want to add a new room to your home that is always an option. However once you purchase a home it usually stays in the place that you purchase it. When you go house hunting, consider any potential home’s proximity to your work, the charm of the neighborhood, how the home is situated on the lot, ease of access, noise from neighbors, traffic, or pets, and access to parks, shopping, schools, and public transportation.

Check Out the Neighborhood
Driving around Charlotte on week days and weekends (during the day and nights) can give you a great feel for the neighborhood. Check to see if the neighbors keep the yards clean or are there old cars and trash around. Make sure the neighborhood is safe enough for people to walk, run, or bike and that the children can play in the yard.

Check the Size and Floor Plan
Are you looking for a home that will also act as your home business? Larger homes can give you extra space that you will need for your home office but you will have to pay higher heating bills and taxes. Before purchasing your home, think about how the new home space will be used and if it will fit your lifestyle now and in the future.
