	Hot Tip
	Determine the specifics you want or need in a home. - What are your day to day and future needs? - Do you enjoy swinging a hammer? - Older houses have great charm, but may need updating. - New homes offer the latest energy efficiency and design features. - Larger lots can give room for additions and swimming pools. - A fixer upper can dramatically increase in worth. - A PUD may have private recreational facilities such as a pool and play parks. - A condo or town-house will relieve you of yard work and exterior maintenance. Sit down with your real estate agent and make up a wants and needs list. Knowing your price range, your agent can determine in what neighborhoods or towns to start looking. You may find that you are limited to where you look based on your situation. There is no sense in wasting your or your agent's time in areas out of your price range.
