hi,
Based on my experience, following things are important.
0) Reason for buying house(as an short term investment or long term roof to live)
1) Listing out what you excatly need in your house (no of rooms, garage, backyard etc.,)
2) Analysing your affordability or choosing the target price
3) Choosing the right loan option. (This is very tough and very critical!!!)
4) Finding a house satisfying your creteria in one of the best locations in your area
5) Finding a right housing agent. (Better to go with some good referrals from your friends /co-workers)
Good luck!

[qb]I need a place to live, and hopefully I will be living in it for long period of time.
I'm more conserned about following:
-Condo vs House (there are lot of articles on this, and they contradict each other)
IMO, house is always preferable
-Old house vs New House (how old is ok)
New house(if its brand new get it from the best construction company). anything above 20 years is old.
-How to make sure the house doesn't fall apart on me in 2 years
By not buying 20+ years old house.
-What percentage of downpayment is acceptible?
Now-a-days 0% payment is also accepted. But anything above 10% is great.
-What is more likely to sell after long period of time (6-10 years)
???
-What kind of heating (other utilities) I should be looking for
I'm from CA. Don't know much about heating.
...
I will probably come up with more questions
Will try to answer!

I somehow thought it was really easy to make bricks.. I used to see people making them on their yards back home.. I wander if that has something to do with the quality of mud.. otherwise I don't see why north-east couldn't make thir own bricks..
