How Many Houses Should You View Before Buying a Home?

Buying a home is a life-changing decision. A smart approach is to visit at least 5 to 7 properties before making your final choice. This allows you to compare styles, locations, layouts, and prices, while also sensing if a property truly feels right for you.

At IBIZA ROYAL AGENCY, we always recommend that clients plan their viewings carefully. Seeing several homes helps you understand what really matters: a terrace with sea views, proximity to services, or abundant natural light. This way, you strengthen your negotiation power and make a strategic decision.

Buying Smart: Plan and Act Strategically

Buying smart means having the right information, avoiding common mistakes, and adopting a clear strategy. In our article 7 common mistakes to avoid when buying a property (and how to buy smart), we guide you step by step to make confident decisions and avoid jeopardizing your peace of mind.

If you are wondering how to negotiate without sounding pushy, our blog also covers this in How to negotiate the price of a property without being aggressive. These insights reflect our commitment to helping you buy with confidence and knowledge.

Key Considerations When Buying a Home

Buying a home is not just a transaction — it’s an emotional, financial, and technical journey. Here are some essentials to consider:

  • Borrowing capacity: It is recommended not to spend more than 30% of your monthly income on your mortgage to ensure financial stability.
  • Additional costs: On top of the purchase price, you should calculate up to 10% extra for taxes, notary, registration, valuation, and administrative fees.
  • PER index (Price to Earnings Ratio): Compare the purchase price with potential rental income to assess profitability.

Advice From Experience

Trust is not gained through promises, but through experience. At IBIZA ROYAL AGENCY, we don’t just sell homes: we provide guidance built on years of expertise, transparency, and ongoing support.

Checking the condition of the property, investigating the neighborhood, and reviewing community agreements are crucial steps often overlooked by buyers. Our team ensures you avoid hidden risks and move forward with confidence.
