Product Description
Many people give more thought to choosing a car than they do a house, probably the biggest investment they'll ever make. They buy without much knowledge of the marketplace. Without good counseling. And without a plan for the future.
From the Back Cover
Your brain dictates "3-bedroom ranch,' but your heart's falling for that old Victorian "fixer upper." If you're not careful, you (who have real trouble using a power drill) will soon be the proud owner of a Bob Vila Special.

From the Back Cover
Your brain dictates "3-bedroom ranch,' but your heart's falling for that old Victorian "fixer upper." If you're not careful, you (who have real trouble using a power drill) will soon be the proud owner of a Bob Vila Special.
Home*ology is a special word for a special way to make sure that the house you buy is the home you want. Finding that home means considering your "self," - your personality, lifestyles and goals - and how you match up with the demands of different homeowning situations.
Home*ology is also a completely different kind of home-buying book. It introduces you to seven homeowning "gateways," or situations, and explains, teh good, the bad, and the truly horrible aspects of each. Through examples, self-tests and checklists, you'll determine what kind of homeowning temperament you have. You'll have to consider:
--House or condo?
--"Fixer-upper" or "move-in condition?"
--Old home or new?
--Lots of land or small brick patio?
--Established neighborhood or far from the madding crowd?
--Looking for something small you can build onto?
--Do you really want the most unusual house on the block?
--And, are you and your partner in agreement - or at least able to compromise on the big stuff?
Author Carolyn Janik also provides plenty of information about finding the right agents, negotiating a good deal, and maximizing your equity in that home.
