Location, location, location. This homebuyer's motto has been handed down since the days when people chose a cave for its proximity to fishing streams and protection from the wind. Today's potential homebuyer still considers location, but now they also must consider mortgage financing, variable interest rates and property values. “Location is definitely important" Real Estate Broker Vern Johnson of Enstad-Mann-Johnson Realtors, Inc., he said. “They should decide first if being close to places like schools is important, as it is for a lot of new couples. It depends on what they're looking for. It may be out of town." But before today's home buyer even begins looking at houses, they should know what they can afford. Real estate professionals recommend sitting with a mortgage broker to pre-arrange financing.
