Look into location. If you’re going to be in this home for any length of time, look into school districts and other things that may not matter to you yet, but could eventually.

Know what you can afford. Realtors insist that prospective homebuyers “contact a lender and be pre-approved so they know the price of the house they can afford and won’t be disappointed that they can’t go into the price range they were originally considering.” According to many agents, most people don’t get pre-approved, which usually winds up wasting time and causing problems down the line.
