Here are five tips for buying real estate:

1.           Inspect Thoroughly: Before making an offer, conduct a thorough inspection of the property. This includes structural elements, plumbing, electrical systems, and any potential issues that could affect the value or safety of the home.

2.           Research the Market: Drive the Neighborhood.  Understand the current market conditions in the area where you want to buy. Look at trends in property values, average selling prices, and the overall economic outlook.

3.           Local Governmental Issues: Check local codes, districts, and public services.  Are you potentially in any special district (historic, etc).  Are the public services reasonable in cost (don’t assume)?   Electricity, water, gas, check them out.

4.           Other Legal Issues: Easements and contractual arrangements

5.           Consider Future Resale: Even if you plan to live in the home long-term, think about its resale potential. Factors like location, neighborhood amenities, and the condition of the property can impact its value over time.

These tips can help you navigate the real estate market more effectively and make informed decisions when buying a property.
