When you start a home search there are ten things to consider in your search criteria

1. Is the home in the right location for your lifestyle?
   Do you need to be closer to school, work, your favorite section of Boise River or daycare?
2. The Floorplan
   Determine how many bedrooms you need and how the house lays out, for example, a first-floor bedroom.
3. Square Feet
   Size matters and costs money so determine how much you need
4. Finishes and Amenities
   What is included with the house?
5. Clean Community
   Do neighbors take care of their property?
6. Safety
   Check with neighbors if they are comfortable  
7. Yard Size
   Do throw a baseball or want low maintenance?
8. Energy Efficiency
   Not all homes are created equal, check monthly utility bills
9. Outdoor Living
   Is the patio space the right size for your family and entertaining?
10. Will you be proud to live there?
    When buyers say, "We can make it work," that may mean it is not the right house
