Keep a House Hunting Scorecard

 

When you are looking at real estate, nothing can be more frustrating than trying to think back to which house had which feature that you liked or didn't like.

 

Keep score of the houses you tour after inspecting each home.  Record its positive and negative aspects and write down your overall impressions.  Eliminate those homes which don't measure up to your satisfaction.  Review your "nice-to-have" list to see how many additional positive points each property may possess, and keep tabs on those "Must Have" items each home has.  These scorecards will be very helpful in narrowing down the field for your final selection.
