Balancing the Emotional and Practical Sides of Buying a Home

November 7, 2018 by Michelle Weller

Imagine this scenario…

You’re shopping for a new home. You drive to visit a recent listing. As you walk through the front doors, you’re impressed. Every room looks fantastic!
You see yourself relaxing on the spacious patio, cooking in the modern kitchen, and enjoying evenings with the family in the cozy living room. Your emotions are on overdrive. This is your dream home! Should you make an offer? Probably. In fact, you should make that decision quickly in case there are other interested buyers.
However, your decision shouldn’t be guided purely by emotion. You want to make sure you take practical matters into consideration too.

For example, you’ll want to consider:
· Is the property within your price range?
· Does it have everything you need?
· Do you like the neighbourhood?
· How old is the property? Are there items, such as the furnace, that may need to be replaced soon?
· Will it need any major repairs or upgrades?
· What are the average monthly costs of carrying the home? (Property taxes, utilities, etc.)

Once you’ve considered the purchase of the home from a practical standpoint, you’ll have a lot more confidence in your decision when you make an offer.

My Client Testimonials

"I just recently bought my house from Michelle. Michelle is a very patient, knowledgeable real estate agent who was able to find me my dream house. It was a great pleasure working with her and I would highly recommend anyone looking for an agent to give Michelle a call. She understands her customers needs and wants and goes that extra mile."

- Ken Godman

"Michelle was fantastic through our entire home buying process. She was always available when we had questions no matter how small, and her enthusiasm was contagious! She expertly guided us through being in competition and her advice was always bang on. She truly goes the extra mile for her clients and we couldn't be happier with the dream house she found us! Thanks Michelle!"

- Colin & Siobhan Ducette

Michelle was recommended by a friend close to the beginning of her career and she assisted me in buying my first home. Since then she has been a reliable resource whenever I start dreaming about my next home, rental properties, vacation homes,  or even changes or improvements to my own place (which happens a lot!). She has always been quick to respond, readily available, and super happy to help. I think she just really enjoys the work she does and it shows!! Thanks Michelle!
