It's a given that consumers shopping for real estate - whether they're first time buyers or experienced homeowners - want to buy their ideal home. And, it's very easy to lose sight of your goals with all the houses in that look like possibilities (list price, location, etc.).

So, to help you prioritize your "contender" list from the computer to the list of places you visit, take this checklist along when you go house hunting. Highlight the items that are most important to you. It'll help you put a home's features into perspective and use sensible ways to measure the houses you're seeing. Keeping this list handy, you can judge the characteristics of up to three houses. Click here to print this page.
