Do you want to spend some time outdoors, no matter what weather it is? You just want to sit in a comfortable chair and enjoy your beautiful yard?
Choose a home with a deck or covered patio!
Whether it's a big front porch, a deck, or a patio, let me know if outdoor living space is on your "MUST HAVE" list!
Buying a home anywhere feels like a huge step, but getting settled can seem especially momentous for any household.
You might plan to stay in your new home for just three to five years, or maybe this is where you plan to retire. Let's talk about what this next step in life looks like for you, and how your new home can accommodate you.
Choosing a home based on your life aspirations or goals that you hope to achieve one day is not a bad thing. But we need to make sure it's in line with current and realistic solutions. For example, if you've always dreamed of owning in a lakefront home, but your budget does not match your vision board yet, perhaps a home that needs a little updating is a good compromise for you to make it your own.
There are a variety of resources for you to research your potential new community. I am certainly one of them! But, calling the local schools, or police and fire to ask specific questions might be beneficial to you if you are looking at an area that you have not spent much time in or are unfamiliar with.
It’s helpful to drive through specific neighborhoods that you are interested in at different times of day, on different days of the week. Check out the local parks, shopping and restaurants for yourself and see if it feels like a good fit for your hobbies and interests.
Make a "must have" and "nice to have" list. Prioritize what you are not willing to budge one. For example, your new home needs to have a basement and 3+ bedrooms. It would be nice if it had a garage
