Once you've decided you want to buy a primary residence or a vacation home in another country, it is important that you narrow down your list and decide where you want to live. If you have a certain city or region in mind the best way to find a place to live is to go on a buying trip.
There are many private individuals and consulting firms that offer these services. You can go with a group or by yourself. The most important thing is that you see what the area has to offer. Something may look great on the Internet, but turn out to be a lot different in person. For example, let's say you are looking for a new condo. You've checked out the website and read their fancy, glossy brochures. When you get there you discover that they are doing construction on another tower for the next two years. Do you really want to listen to the jackhammer every morning? These are the things that you can only discover by visiting a property first hand.
Another good way to find out if the area is right for you is to ASK AROUND. Ask people who live in the area what they like and dislike. They will be happy to answer your questions and may bring up points you had not thought about.
Good luck!
