It is important to consider your priorities. If you can't find your perfect home within your price range, then what features are most important to you? Would you trade fewer bedrooms for a larger kitchen? A longer commute for a bigger lot and lower cost?

When looking at a house, look beyond the furniture, paint and clutter. Focus on the following aspects of the house:

Floor plan - The floor plan is extremely important. Look at entrances, exits and where the rooms are located. Think about the flow of traffic in and around your home. A good floor plan is worth a lot, especially when you look at the cost of changing it.

Walls & Floor - Walls and floor coverings make an important first impression. Paint is relatively inexpensive; so try to see the walls in the colors you would choose. Carpets can be removed and replaced, hardwoods can be refinished and vinyl floor coverings are not that expensive.

Kitchen - The kitchen is usually the most popular room in a home. Paint and new appliances can make a big difference if you don't like what's there now. The most important thing to consider is whether or not it has enough space to suit your needs.
