So you've decided it's time to buy a new house. But first, there are some important things to consider which will help you with your decision. Essentially, it's all about your lifestyle. So get a pen and a piece of paper and put down all the things you think are important and you would like to enjoy once you move. Hobbies, sports, how much time you actually spend at home or how much you socialize will all have an influence on choosing your new neighborhood.
People, however, tend to worry more about the structure of the house than to adapt it to their personal needs.
Make a list of priorities for each member of the family and the family's joint list. Family priorities with the highest rank represent family profile which serves as a guideline when choosing a home. Of course, not everybody's demands can be met.
Also, writing it down not only helps keep them in mind when you're house-hunting, but can also make you aware of traits you may have otherwise missed. Here are a few specifics to consider in drawing up the profiles.
The way you spend your leisure time should also influence your decision. If you are into sports, try to find a recreation-oriented community. If you have a hobby, choose an area that will help you pursue it.
If you are working a lot and you don't have time to take care of a big house and front yard, then condominium living is the perfect choice for you. And if you want to maximize the time that you spend at home, try finding a place which is close to your job or is close to a commute.
Some people easily adapt to a new lifestyle. However, many others tend to keep their old habits even when they move to a new location, and a home and community similar to the previous one would please them most.
If members of your family have a valuable collection of some sort, be sure to make room in your new home for a proper display.
What about price? How much do you want to spend on your home in relation to other interests? A mature adult couple now living in a single-family home may wish to use their equity to move into a comparable condominium. On the other hand, a younger couple may want to spend more on a home in a recreation-oriented community so they can enjoy activities that would cost them much more separately.
Answering these questions will only provoke further introspection about your preferred way of life. Having the answers to all of these questions will simplify your quest for a perfect home.
