1. August 8, 2017 The Secret to Choosing the Perfect Home for Sale is to Decide on These Important Factors Looking for a new home the whole family can be comfortable in is never easy. Aside from being a big deal in terms of investment, it can also be difficult to find a home with all the features each family member will be happy with. But with a little due diligence and perhaps a few compromises, you can find that dream home you’ve been looking for. Page | 1

2. That said, here are some features in a home for sale you and your family need to agree on so everyone is happy with the purchase. Home Style You need to decide whether you prefer to live in a town home or a single family home. Generally, a town home is designed with a smaller lot size and a limited number of rooms. However, if you are just a small family of three, it definitely makes for a good starter home as it is fairly easy to maintain. A single-family detached home would most likely come with a sizable yard where you can set up a playground or even a mini golf course. At the same time, it also offers you a greater degree of privacy since the home does not sit side by side with a row of other homes as in the case of a townhouse. Number of Rooms The home may look great but if it doesn't have enough rooms for everyone, living in it can be quite uncomfortable. That means having a separate room for each child so they have their own personal spaces when they get older. You also want to make sure there are enough extra rooms in the home to transform into whatever you need it to be, whether that's a baby nursery, study, home office or even a laundry room. Take note of how many rooms you need to have to make all these available to you. Remember, it's better to have enough rooms available in the home than to have one added. Lot Location If you enjoy having a bit more privacy, you may prefer to get a home that is located at the end of the street. On the other hand, a corner lot would probably give you more lot area than any other property around it. Page | 2

3. Layout As much as possible, you want to make sure the layout is right for your needs. For starters, if you like to cook, you may want to get a home with a big kitchen area so you and your family can move around freely while you are preparing a meal. If your family enjoys hanging out in the living room, you may want to opt for a home with an exceptionally large living area. Check the sizes of the bedrooms too. Make sure they are spacious enough for all the stuff that would go in these rooms. Think about these factors very carefully as you go around choosing your new home.
