DAY 14 Buying a House 买房子
As house prices have risen too much these years, many people find it hard to afford a house.
But all the people who do not have a house dream of the day when they‘ll pick up the keys to their own home.
The idea of owning a home is wonderful.
Buying a house will cost you a lot of money, so never do it in a hurry.
Whatever the market condition is, when you are planning to buy a house，there are many things to consider，whatever your intention is, to buy or only rent.
After all, it is going to be your home, perhaps for quite a long time, and you want to be happy with it.
You have to decide correctly what kind of house you want, how much you can afford to pay, and the type of area you wish to live in.
However, it's always easy to forget all above, because it's most probably that you'll fall in love with the house for sale when you first see it.
