Module 4 Independent Challenge 4
This Independent Challenge requires an Internet connection.
All the years of hard work and saving money have paid off, and you have decided to purchase a home. You know where you’d like to live, and you decide to use the web to find out more about houses that are currently available. A worksheet would be a great place to compare the features and prices of potential homes.
a
Start Excel, then save a new, blank workbook as EX 4-My New House to the location where you save your Data Files.
b

Decide on where you would like to live, and use your favorite search engine to find information sources on homes for sale in that area. (Hint: Try using realtor.com or other realtor-sponsored sites.)
c
Determine a price range and features within the home. Find data for at least five homes that meet your location and price requirements, and enter them in the worksheet. See Table 4-4 for a suggested data layout.
