  3. Rate 4 things on a 10 pt scale.

    location— could be better schools, proximity to work, desirability
    Price— includes terms, loan perks, seller paid points, how far you will stretch to pay your mortgage
    Condition— if you don’t have a budget for remodel/upgrades and a home needs give this less points as it’s hard to budget for and actually do the work after you move in
    Floor plan and amenities—will this home really work for your lifestyle? Will it grow with your family?
    I tell my clients that a 36 and above is a slam dunk. Below 34 you might keep looking.

    That industry must be crashing now too.

    For me, location matters a lot. That is the first thing I would consider while buying a house.

    I don't think anyone wants to leave their house right now. :(
