1. Define what your dream home is

2. Know your desired location
Define where you want to live. Are you looking to live in town or in the country? What section of town do you desire most? What about proximity to schools and area businesses? All of these will help you narrow your search and become laser focused on your goal.

4. Look at more than one property
Visit many open houses in the area to get a general idea of what is on the market and what the asking prices are. Any houses you find that meet your parameters schedule time to thoroughly examine the houses to determine if you would like to make an offer. Make multiple offers contingent on the home inspection. Schedule the inspections and review the inspector's findings. Don't jump at the first thing you see and be patient.
5. Examine the good verses bad of each property
Write down any pros and cons for each property and review them against your original list of dream home attributes. If you are have a budget in mind as far as monthly payment and down payment write each down for each property under the pros or cons side.
