Big House
Sometimes you find a house that feels like it's just about perfect -- the layout, the location, the style -- everything about it!

Exciting, right?

But… it also has more space than you think you need.

Maybe there’s an extra bedroom with no clear use.

An unfinished basement you weren’t asking for.

Or a finished basement that feels like way more than you’ll ever use.

Before you walk away, pause and consider...

1.  Are you getting the perfect house (with the “extra” space) at the price you expected to pay for the perfect house without the extra space?

2.  Will you reasonably be able to maintain the home -- utilities, updates, upkeep -- even with the extra space?

3.  Are you likely to find another perfect house without the extra space?

If the answers are...

1.  Yes -- you’re getting “perfect+” house at a “perfect” price.

2.  Yes -- you can comfortably maintain it.

3.  No -- you’re unlikely to find perfect without some extra space.

...then maybe that extra space isn’t a problem at all... and perhaps that perfect+ house just be considered perfect after all!
