According to the 2012 TD Canada Trust First Time Home Buyers Report, the majority of buyers say they would have done some things differently when
purchasing a home.

The top three things that people would have done differently:

1) 60% of First Time Buyers said they should have been more thorough when budgeting and accounting for all of the costs associated with purchasing a home. Click here for some uselful information on home closing costs you should be prepared for.

I would look into the specifics of any renovations that you may want to do in the future. We bought our home because we loved the area and although it was too small we planned on adding a second story to get more room. We later discovered that while its possible, there are a lot of hoops to jump through because our area is mostly single story homes.
