[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start browsing heavily on Redfin so you can get a sense of how much house you get for your budget. Go to open houses for the same reason. Think through what characteristics are your priority, which are nice but not necessary, and which you don't care about. Ex. Do you need a big yard but don't need lots of bathrooms, are you ok with a meh kitchen as long as there's a finished basement, and so on. Pay attention to how the schools are, if not for your own kids then for resale down the road. Are you handy and willing to take on projects, or do you need something mostly turnkey-ready?

Me here are you thinking of buying?[/quote]

There are lots of sites you can use -- doesn't have to be Redfin, which really isn't a very good company to work with as a new buyer. Also, no Realtor can tell you anything about quality of schools -- for that you need word of mouth, tours, etc. (i.e., don't bother with school ranking sites like greatschools.org).

The most important thing you need is to get your finances ready. Check your credit, get liquid for deposit, etc. [/quote]
