But what if you have made the decision to buy a home, but you aren't exactly sure what you're looking for? Below are a few things you will want to think about when looking for homes for sale in Bear Creek, North Carolina. Once you have narrowed down the sort of home you're looking for, HOMESFORSALE.COM.VC will be here to help you find it as easily and quickly as possible.

1. Price. The easiest way to find out what homes for sale in Bear Creek are within your price range is to get preapproved for a mortgage loan. You can shop around for preapproval, so you're sure to get the best rate. The bank's preapproval will give you an estimated budget so you don't waste time looking at homes that are out of your financial reach. If you are preapproved for a $250,000 loan, you can input that information above, here at HOMESFORSALE.COM.VC and we will show you only homes that are that price and under.

2. Neighborhood. Is there a particular neighborhood in Bear Creek, North Carolina that you are especially drawn to? Perhaps one that is close to your job, or in a certain school district about which you've heard good things? Maybe there is one that is closer to your family, friends, gym, or public transportation stops? Or is there a neighborhood you can think of that has your favorite modern (or traditional, or whatever you prefer) style? Perhaps you don't want to be in a neighborhood at all, but prefer something on the outskirts of the area?

3. Size. Size isn't just about square footage - it's about finding the right home that fits your family's lifestyle. Start with the basics: how many family members need their own rooms? Then add any rooms you will need for additional children you think you might have, grandchildren, or houseguests. Do you need an office, or a separate room for your hobbies? Then think about storage - do you need an attic, garage, walk-in closets? Do you entertain often, necessitating a big family room or a separate dining room?

4. Layout. Let's say you know for sure that you want to search for homes in Bear Creek, North Carolina that have four bedrooms, a dining room, and a two-car garage. Think about whether or not there is a specific layout for those rooms that you will need. Are you more interested in a one-story ranch or a two story single-family home? Do you have small children, elderly relatives, or older pets living with you who would have trouble negotiating stairs? Does your office need to be a room that's far away from the living room, so you can have quiet when you work?

5. The Lot. While you're spending this time thinking about what kind of home you want to live in in Bear Creek, don't forget to also consider the lot. Remember that bigger lots require more lawn care, which can add up to a large time and money commitment. Do you have large dogs that need space to run, or do you need space to set up a jungle gym for your children? Do you need a fence, prefer a pool, or like a lot with several trees? Perhaps you would rather live in an area where landscaping services are provided by the Homeowner's Association? Keep all these things in mind, and tell your Realtor about the non-negotiables. This leads us to the next consideration:

6. The House's Situation. How is the house you are looking for situated on its lot? Do you want a home on a hill or in a valley? One with a view? One at the back of the lot, away from the road (or close to the road so you don't have to walk far to get the mail)? Do you need a house that gets a lot of sun during the day because you're an avid gardener?

7. The Home's Condition. Some home buyers are looking for a house that is move-in ready; that is, one that doesn't require any repairs to be made before they can move in. Others are looking for a 'fixer-upper,' or a home that is in need of a few repairs or one that they can purchase inexpensively and then remodel. The older a home is, the more likely it is that it will be a 'fixer-upper,' or that it will at least require some minor updating. Another thing to keep in mind in reference to the home's condition is whether it comes with appliances, and if so, how old those appliances are.

8. Style of the House. Are you in love with a Tudor style home? Don't waste your time looking at modern townhouses! Do you prefer brick, siding, river stone, or another material for a home's exterior? What about the landscaping near the house - landscaping can range from casual to super-formal. Where do your tastes fall on the spectrum?
