• Do you want a yard?
• Do you mind having a Home Owners Association?
• Are you equipped to handle basic home maintenance?
• Have you considered Townhomes and Condominiums?
• Do you want to be close to Post?
• Are school districts important to you?
• How much can you afford on a monthly mortgage payment?
• Do you prefer a 2 story, multiple level, or Ranch style floor plan?
• Do you require a basement?
• Do you normally prefer New versus Resale?
• Are views of the mountains important to you?
• Do you require a Garage?  If so, how large or how many cars?
