When you think about buying your next home, think about the room or rooms in which you spend most of your time.

Some people spend most of their time in kitchen the kitchen or kitchen adjacent space.

Some people spend most of their time in the family room.

Some people spend most of their time in a sunroom.

Some people spend most of their time in a finished basement.

Some people spend most of their time in a home office.

Some people spend most of their time on a back patio or in the backyard.

Yes, and I know, most people spend time in lots of rooms... but which room is the primary room where you spend your time?

Once you have determined that number one room (or numbers one and two if you must) consider prioritizing how that space lives, feels and works when you evaluate homes you might purchase.

If you spend most of your time in the kitchen or kitchen spaces, then we shouldn't get too overly excited by the great home office and back patio that a home offers... as that is not where you spend most of your time.

Certainly, the patterns of how and where you spend most of your time might change in a new home, but make sure that the spaces in which you currently spend most of your time are going to be just as nice or nicer in your next home.
