You may have already seen a few homes and the details are starting to become somewhat hazy and jumbled. Do you remember which one has the ensuite bath and which one had the walkout basement? How much storage space did the first choice on your list have? Were appliances included in all of the homes you viewed? And what about property taxes and maintenance costs associ- ated with each home? Can you remember how close local amenities -- like stores, schools and public transport -- were to each of the homes you like? Which one had the landscaping you liked best? Compiling a house hunting checklist as you go through homes could help you keep better track of things, so that you can easily recall the advantages and drawbacks of each one.
