OUT OF THE HEART AND INTO THE HEAD
We all have a dream home that exists in our hearts; it’s a combination of all the wonderful experiences we have had throughout our life, and it is the standard that we will use to judge any homes we are thinking of buying. Often your dream and your spouse’s dreams are different. But today let’s think about the practical aspects of buying a home. At some point the right brain needs to get involved, because purchasing a home is a major investment, and there are practical considerations.
Number one is the house design. Don’t just buy a location, or a lot, make sure the house has street curb appeal and that the traffic flow and the design of the home are correct. Take a good look at the building engineering and structure. Many homes, in established neighborhoods, have antiquated insulation and mechanical systems that served well in years past but need serious upgrading. Older systems are not only low tech, but any system as it ages will become less efficient and require more maintenance.
Kitchens and bathrooms should reflect today’s living styles, and be very careful of houses that have been updated, since, if they were done on a budget, they were probably not done correctly (or at least not meant for the long haul). Windows are another place where newer, higher efficient replacements would greatly enhance any older home and add to the comfort of the home.
Modern homes need cable and telephone “home runs” to every room in the house, and the infrastructure to hook up to, coming to the home. We need to consider commute time, public transportation, schools, colleges and universities, shopping, real estate tax structure, etc. This is an important decision so why not hire a professional to advise you.
