Its the best advice I’ve got. While the house you buy is important over time it is what surrounds your home that determines how much you like or dislike where you live. Spend time each place on weekends and see where you see yourself being happiest. Then get great help from someone that knows that area.
Spend time to learn as much as you can about homes and relative values. Once you got that down, you will be able to spot when a great house comes along at a great price. You will have the confidence to jump in full force and you will win that way!

Great advice, and I’ll add one other tidbit to this advice. Once you know an area intimately, you’ll know not all floor plans fit your need or that you even like. So, that limit your search even further. Only when you know an area well, will you know what is a deal for you and what is just a deal. You’re buying a home, not an investment property, so floor plan and lot location also play a big roll too.
