As the buyer – you’re not going to pay any fees or commission to your agent, instead, it’s the seller’s responsibility to cover this expense.

If you plan on staying in a location for more than 3-5 years, it almost always makes more sense to buy than to rent. Rent is an expense, but home ownership is an investment in your future. Rents go up with every new lease, while ownership allows you to opt into a fixed mortgage rate. When rent price climates are high, they average the same if not higher than the cost of a monthly mortgage.

When searching for a house for sale in Milton, you will have to choose between purchasing a previously owned home or one that is yet to be constructed. A previously owned Milton house for sale does not offer the customization options you get with many pre-construction purchases, but it does let you avoid construction issues that could delay your closing. There are also more re-sale home options in Milton that are much more affordable than new construction options.

While Milton has many walkable neighbourhoods, you may want to find a home that is sufficiently close to your favourite shopping centres, grocery stores, and parks.

Proximity to highways and Go stations is another important factor to consider for office goers and workers.

When you schedule a viewing for a Milton house for sale, try to visit when people are usually at home. This will give you a better idea of what to expect from your neighbours and the noise levels you can anticipate should you move into your prospective location. It’s also a good idea to strike up a conversation with a few neighbours about their experience living in the community for more insight.
