Pre-Approval
Before starting your house hunt, make an appointment with a mortgage professional to get the loan pre-approval in place. This way you’ll know what your purchasing power is.
Wish List
It's a good idea to carefully craft your wish list and try to stick to it. If you’re shopping with your partner, discuss your must-haves and deal breakers together so you’ll be on the same page during your house hunt.
The Neighbourhood
Remember you are not only buying a house but the neighborhood too. Talk to neighbors and ask questions. Spend time in the area to determine if it offers the lifestyle conveniences you’ll need.
Pace Yourself
Don’t see too many houses in one day. You may begin to feel overwhelmed and confused after touring several homes. Too many homes in a short period of time will run together in your mind and you won’t recall which kitchen or which master bedroom belonged to which house.
Budget

Stay within your price range and consider added expenses such as taxes, strata fees, maintenance, etc.
