DREAM HOME CHECKLIST Now that you know how much you can afford, its time to visualize your dream home. Decide what it is that is most important to you.

Which home seemed the most homey to you? Do you want a white picket fence and a two-car garage? Or is a townhouse in the eclectic part of town? Answer the questions below and go through the checklist. Decide which items are most important to you. If youre buying your new home with someone else, have them fill out the same checklist and then compare answers. Pay special attention to those items that one of you absolutely does not want.
