Turning a House into a Happy Home!
We talk a lot about why it makes financial sense to buy a home, but more often than not, we are drawn to the emotional reasons for homeownership.
No matter the living space, the feeling of a home means different things to different people. Whether it is a certain scent or a favorite chair, the feel-good connections to our own homes are typically more important to us than the financial ones. Here are some of the reasons why.
1. Owning your home is an accomplishment worth celebrating. You have likely worked very hard to achieve this dream, and whether it is your first home or your fifth, congratulations are in order for this milestone. You have earned it.
2. There’s no place like home. Owning your own home offers not only safety and security but also a comfortable place where you can simply relax and kick-back after a long day. Sometimes, that is just what we need to feel recharged and truly content.
3. You can find more space to meet your needs. Whether you want more room in your home for your changing lifestyle (think: working from home, virtual school, or a personal gym), or you simply prefer to have a large backyard for socially-distant entertaining, you can invest in a location that truly works for your evolving needs.
4. You have control over renovations, updates, and your style. Looking to try one of those complicated wall treatments you saw on Pinterest? Tired of paying an additional pet deposit for your apartment building? Maybe you want to finally adopt that fur-baby puppy or kitten you have been hoping for this year. You can do all of these things in your own home.
Bottom Line
Whether you are a first-time Buyer or a move-up bBuyer who wants to start a new chapter in your life, now is a great time to reflect on the intangible factors that turn a house into a happy home.
