Thereās a difference between loving a house when you walk through it⦠and loving what itās actually like to live there.
When youāre touring, try to forget the staging and the pretty finishes for a minute.
Think about a regular day.
Where are you dropping your keys, bags, shoes?
Where are the groceries going?
Does the layout make sense for the way you actually live?
Is there enough storage, or are you already thinking about where you could add some?
And how much of this house are you going to want to maintain?
None of these things are very exciting. š
But if this is a home youāre hoping to stay in for a long time, they matter.
So yes, fall in love with the house.
Just make sure you can also see yourself living in it.
