Buying Tips
Don't Get Pushed Into a Deal -
You may feel pressured to buy if homes are selling fast in
your area and prices are going up. Rising interest rates may
push your buttons, too. You may just feel vulnerable in the
presence of any kind of sales professional. If you feel
intimidated by experts, learn as much as you can about the home
buying process before you talk to them. If interest rates are
rising, research the forecast in your local newspaper, national
business magazines or on line. Always shop around for lenders
and terms.

Test-Drive Your Commute
Avoid buying into a bad commute when you move to a new
neighborhood. Take the time to drive to and from the area and
your job during rush hour. If the commute is long or
complicated, weigh that against other factors you like about a
home or area. |
