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 what’s important and avoid getting sidetracked by non-essentials.

Must-haves might include things like:

·       A sufficient number of bedrooms and bathrooms

·       Adequate square footage

·       Safe neighborhood

·       Good school district

·       Reasonable commute to work or school

·       Access to public transportation

·       Outdoor space, such as a yard or balcony

·       Parking availability

·       Move-in ready condition

Wants are features like:

·       Updated kitchen and bathrooms

·       Open floor plan

·       Additional living spaces, such as a den or bonus room

·       Walk-in closets

·       Energy-efficient appliances or features

·       Smart home technology

·       Pool or other recreational amenities

·       Home office space

·       Architectural features, such as vaulted ceilings or bay windows

The biggest takeaway? Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. It’s 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.
