• Where do you want to be living? Downtown Burlington? The suburbs of Oakville? Near the lakeshore? Or is your primary consideration simply the length of the commute to your place of work?
• In what type of home would you prefer to live? Detached? Semi-detached? Are you fine with a duplex or townhouse? How about a high-rise condo? Are you thinking about a new home/condo or something for resale? Lots of considerations here!
• Your household income. Remember that you won't just have a mortgage to pay every month. You'll need to take into account your property taxes, utilities, and possibly condo fees. Generally, your expenses for all of these items related to paying for your home should not be more than 35% of your income.
• Local market conditions. Is it a seller's, buyer's or balanced market?

It's a good idea to work out exactly what you want and what you can afford before you begin your search for your next home. Make sure you've accounted for everything and only look at houses in your price range. The more research you put into the budgeting process up-front, the better Brad can find a home that meets your needs, wants and budget!

One step that you should consider before even starting the search is to meet with your bank or a mortgage broker and negotiate a pre-approved mortgage. There are many types of mortgages and many different terms. Research all of your options so that there are no surprises once you're ready to make an offer.

Once you've determined your monthly expenses and the price range for your next home, you can start your search. You may find your dream home is the first one you see -- or you may look at several without finding the one that is right for you. Be patient, though. The home for which you're looking is out there, and you'll be prepared to make an offer when you find it. If the vendor accepts your offer, you're ready to progress onto closing the transaction and then you can move into your new home!
