Searching for Your Dream Home? Create a Wish List

Dreams are in the details. And when looking for the home of your dreams, those details become an integral part of your search. Location. Landscape. Sidewalks. Fences. Kitchen island. Granite countertops. Hardwood floors. Office. Attached garage. Be specific, but realistic.

Some of your “necessities” may be unattainable. Write down what you want, grouping them by room, then again by importance. And don’t forget to look at the long-term picture and consider what the future may hold. Children. Pets. Extra parking for recreational vehicles. In-law units. Then, work with your agent about what’s trendy, safe, and reasonable. Are there easy additions and renovations you can take on after the purchase?

You’ll find you can be flexible and realistic while remaining true to your dream.
