We will look at some of the important things to know before buying a home and how to set yourself up for success when moving so you can be move-in ready.

Picking the right state to move to can make a difference.
If you are choosing a home that is across state lines it can really make a difference especially when filing taxes. Did you know for instance If you purchase a home in Florida and then declare that it is your primary residence, you can receive a tax exemption for the first $50,000 of value for property tax purposes? Tax breaks and different regulations can differ between states and can really make a difference.

Choose the home that fits you best.
Being move-in ready means that you have chosen the home that fits you the best and making sure that you choose a home that really fits your needs. For instance having a yard may be an important factor in a home or a certain size bedroom or kitchen. In fact about Eighty-three percent of Americans think a yard is important and close to ninety percent of people with a yard believe that its important to make sure it is well taken care of.


Choosing a new home versus an old home can make a difference.
Being move-in ready also means choosing a home that is new or old depending upon your needs. Buying a new homes can have a high up front price but old homes may need a lot of repairs and work to make them more modern and up to date with current standards. An interesting fact about new homes is that taxes on a new home are much lower in the first several months than on a home that is similarly valued for resale. Being move-in ready means that you have worked out whether to buy a home that is old or new and can make a massive difference.

These are just a few things to think of when searching for your next home that can help you become more successful and feel better about looking for a new home.
