Is it a struggle to find the right home while staying within a budget? I have some thoughts:
First, let go of the idea that the perfect home exists. Instead, focus on finding a home that ticks most of your boxes and has the potential to grow with you in the coming years.
Second: Prioritize your must-haves and make a list. This way, you can focus on whatโs important and avoid getting sidetracked by non-essentials.
Must-haves might include things like:
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย A sufficient number of bedrooms and bathrooms
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Adequate square footage
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Safe neighborhood
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Good school district
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Reasonable commute to work or school
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Access to public transportation
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Outdoor space, such as a yard or balcony
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Parking availability
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Move-in ready condition
Wants are features like:
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Updated kitchen and bathrooms
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Open floor plan
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Additional living spaces, such as a den or bonus room
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Walk-in closets
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Energy-efficient appliances or features
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Smart home technology
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Pool or other recreational amenities
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Home office space
ยทย ย ย ย ย ย Architectural features, such as vaulted ceilings or bay windows
The biggest takeaway? Donโt be afraid to think outside the box.ย Itโs okay to look at homes that require some work to hit your list of must-haves. With a little creativity, you may just be able to transform it into your dream home over time.
I have a lot of experience going through the process of determining needs vs. wants. I can help you make that list and then make it a reality.

We`d like to shout out RRG agent, @kellybradley_realestate on her recent closing! ๐๐ป
Here`s what Kelly had to say about helping her client:
"My first-time home buyer was ready for a fresh start in a house she can make a home. And we found it. It was new on the market. It was the first on the list (as it met all the needs & desires) on the day of our home tours. After the 2nd home she said- โletโs make an offer on the first homeโ. I went back to my office and got to it. We were the first offer in but, 4 or 5 other offers were also made. After an addendum and bit of negotiating we got it! She now gets to create a fresh start in her very own home. โค๏ธโค๏ธ And her pup gets a big yard to run around in with chickens and goats as neighbors. This makes me happy too. โค๏ธ Itโs about the story- the life story. Itโs about being a part of other peopleโs stories!"
I couldn`t have said it better myself! Also, peep the cute new homeowner gift basket Kelly gave her!
