[quote=SDEaves]Our dear friend is a realtor who felt it best for us to look at homes in our price range this year before purchasing a property. Was that not a good idea? We have learned a lot in looking around. We are now in a position to put in offers (have ample savings to do the deal as of now). Our realtor friend, we feel, did us a great service in showing us around. Didn’t feel we would need to state that in our post/justify our price range/etc. since our post question is pretty specific- townhouse or SFR in the areas mentioned.[/quote]
Glad the Piggs could be of some assistance, but we usually need a price range in order to offer suggestions. Without it, we don’t have any way of knowing exactly WHAT you are considering in your areas of choice, which all have a variety of housing styles to choose from. For instance, there is a LOT of difference in exterior space and privacy between a townhouse (condo) and a townhouse (PUD). In your given price range, we would also need to know if you were willing to do major work on a property as some areas of the county generally have more properties which need more work than others. If you were, your options (size and area) would definitely open up more.
