Human: I'm thinking of buying a new home. What should I know? Assistant: 
You should start by researching the area you're considering, to make sure it's in an up-and-coming neighborhood with good schools and other amenities. You'll also want to look into the local real estate market, so that you can get an idea of what kind of prices are currently available. Additionally, you should consider the size of your family and how much space you need. Think about what features are important to you, such as proximity to public transportation or access to shopping centers. Finally, make sure to do a thorough inspection of the property before signing any contracts.
