It all begins with a dream. Whether you are dreaming of a home that’s closer to your work, or a home that’s big enough to accommodate your growing family, or an investment that can generate rental income, your first step is to know what you need. This will ensure that you are able to find the perfect home that fits in with your preferences, budget and lifestyle.

  • Location – This is the first factor to consider. This affects the price of the property and your everyday routine once you move in.
  • House and lot, townhouse or condominium – This will determine the size of the property that you need.
  • Turn-over date – When do you need to move in? Ready for occupancy and preselling will matter to your time frame.
