Five things to consider before making an offer on a home | Bahamas Real Estate

So you’re ready to make an offer on a new home.
WAIT!

Before you make your offer make sure to consider a few final details, learn as much as you possibly can about the property and process. When you ask questions, the answers you receive will help determine whether you are ready to make that next step of signing an offer.

Here are five things to consider before making an offer on a home.

Ask Yourself, Is The Asking Price Reasonable?

Do research, check the house market conditions, and find out how long the house has been on the market.

 

Check The Condition Of The Property

You might have seen the house at least once. However, before you take that official step take one last look through the house to make sure it is precisely what you want. Use this walkthrough to check for anything you may have missed.

 

Check Out The Neighbors

Yes, you have found your dream home, but do you want nightmare neighbours? Drive through the neighbourhood at different times of the day.

 

Review The Utility Bills

You have been pre-approved for this mortgage. However, have you taken consideration of the utility bills and future maintenance? Take time to view the utility bills and make sure it fits into your monthly budget.

 

Make Sure You Understand How The Rest Of The Process Works

Ask lots of questions, take notes and do your research. Pay attention to every detail.
