I Know I Will Not Find A House With EVERYTHING I Want, But I Cannot Decide Which Compromises To Make
Tuesday, July 16, 2024
This is a tough one, and many buyers feel this way these days with limited options of resale homes to consider purchasing...
You might come to the table with five "must have" criteria for your next home and another five "would like to have" criteria.
Or, maybe your list of requirements is even longer, or possibly shorter.
Regardless, just about every would be home buyer is looking for a home that will meet as many of their needs and desires as possible.
But if you can't find it all...
- detached home with at least four bedrooms
- in my favorite school district
- a nice yard for outdoor play
- a basement for a workshop
- mountain views
Which are you willing to sacrifice?
You'll likely encounter many homes that match many of your criteria... and a few homes that fit most of your criteria... but you might not find any that do it all for you.
Oftentimes you won't be able to decide in advance which of your "must have" criteria are actually negotiable.
But as you enter each new listing as a home buyer, try to hold all of your criteria loosely, and give each a house a chance to convince you that it meets enough of your needs to be a home that you can enjoy for the coming years.
