HOUSE-HUNTING SHEET AVAILABLE ON THE WEB

Sun

The national housing agency has a worksheet for the house-hunter that has a don't-leave-home-without-it promise to it. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.'s Home-Hunting Comparison Worksheet is an easy-to-use downloadable form that allows house-hunters to keep track of the pluses and minuses of the homes on their shopping lists.

Among other things, the worksheet allows you to make note of a home's proximity to neighbourhood amenities -- schools, transportation, shopping and the like; to rate a home's interior and exterior attributes; and to tally a home's annual costs.
