These are the non-negotiables, and knowing them from the get-go will help you refine your search. If you know a property listing doesn\u2019t have the features you want, you don\u2019t have to waste time visiting.<\/p>\n<p>The more specific your criteria, the easier it will be for a realtor to help you zero in on the properties that stand a chance. Creating your list ahead of time can also help you avoid adding things as you start to view properties. Know your own priorities.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Find Your Neighborhood<\/h2>\n<p>The next step is deciding where you want to live. Is it time to move out of the city to somewhere you can actually get everything you\u2019re looking for in your home? It can be tough to find that dream home at the right price in competitive housing markets.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing your town or neighborhood all comes down to what you want to be close to. Do you need to have natural features close by, restaurants and nightlife, arts and culture?<\/p><div class=\"79269cf5c79b40a0fba5c0560fa469d3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>3.

Even if you\u2019re past that stage in life where you\u2019re having kids, you should still be thinking about lifestyle changes on the horizon. You may need fewer bedrooms, but what about entertainment space? If your own children have moved out, they may be starting families of their own, which means you\u2019ll need more space at the dinner table for holidays.<\/p>\n<p>You should also keep in mind aging and your own mobility.
