How Do You Decide Which Home to Buy?

Imagine the feeling of falling in love with your dream home and calling it your own. While thousands of buyers are confident that a specific home is perfect for them, others face a challenging decision–choosing between multiple dream homes. When you’re unsure of whether or not a house is the “right” home for you, committing to a single property can seem like an overwhelming and downright impossible decision. Although each buyer is unique, most can make a confident decision when they recognize these signs.

  1. Your Priorities are Covered
    The right home will do more than just please you aesthetically. From the layout and number of bedrooms to the neighborhood and distance from your most visited places, the right home will cover most of your priorities and not leaving you wishing for more.
  2. The Property Can Evolve With Your Lifestyle Needs
    Buying a home means investing in a space that needs to accommodate your lifestyle for years to come. Whether it has extra bedrooms catering to a growing family or functional outdoor space for you to relax in during retirement, the right home will facilitate your expected lifestyle changes.
  3. You Begin Comparing It to Other Homes
    If you walk into each new showing and automatically compare the property to a home you fell in love with, it’s apparent that you’ve already found the right home for you.
  4. Any Problems Aren’t Deal-Breakers
    Even your dream home will not be perfect. However, if the additional expenses, lack of certain features, or other ticks on the negative column are easily viewed as acceptable tradeoffs, you’ll know that you aren’t seeing your dream home through rose-colored glasses.
  5. You Don’t Want to Look at Other Listings
    While we advise all buyers to view a handful of homes before buying a house, the phrase “when you know, you know” sometimes applies. If you’ve fallen in love with a home and are confidently ready to place an offer without viewing other properties, trust your gut!
  6. You Already Feel Right at Home
    Sometimes the perfect home can’t be verbally described — it can just “feel” right. Small, subtle details may remind you of happy memories while other aspects of the space blend together to create a positive vibe that embraces you. Simply put, if this house already feels like home, it may be the one.
  7. You’re Ready to Place an Offer
    Buying a house is one of the most significant financial decisions any individual will make during their life. Because most individuals will live in this space for years, if not decades, it’s not a decision that should be made lightly. If you’re confident and convinced that it’s time to make an offer on a home, rarely will anything else change your mind.
