How Do I Know The Right Size House For Me?

If you have ever gone house shopping, you surely know how overwhelming or even discouraging all the choices can be! It might seem like so much goes into such a decision as 'Which house to buy,' but there are a few major ways you can narrow down the choices; first of all, figure out whether you plan to live in the house for a long time or a short time; figure out whether you plan to have kids in the house; figure out whether you will eventually look to add onto the house; once you have answered these questions, you can narrow down your choices even further by looking at a few specific items.

The first question to answer is how many bedrooms you need your new house to have; while it never hurts to have extra bedrooms, having too few can certainly present problems. If you are a young married couple with no kids, and you plan on moving soon, you will not need more than one or two bedrooms. If, on the other hand, you already have kids, or are planning to have kids, make sure you plan accordingly! Better to part with a bit of extra money now and have one or two extra bedrooms than to hold onto the money now and find yourself spending more money to add bedrooms on in the future!

If you have ever had the misfortune of living in a house with too few bathrooms and too many people, you surely know how important bathrooms are! If you decide that you need three full baths, do not compromise and settle for a house with one or two full baths. If you are a family of five or six - or plan to be a family of five or six - think about what getting ready for the day will be like if everyone is sharing one full bathroom!

Lasly, you need to decide what size yard you want to have; a large yard can be a maintenance headache, but truly, the decision comes down to the question of children. With kids who are always outside enjoying the yard, the minor maintenance headache become well worth it.

There are a lot of choices and a lot of elements that go into these choices when you are looking at houses; but before you worry about location, square feet, and even price, decide how many bedrooms you need, how many bathrooms you need, and what kind of yard you need the house to have.
