What Makes a Forever Home?

Some home buyers eagerly choose the first house that fits their budget and that will work for them, currently. They may not worry about staying in the home forever because recently, it is so hard to get into the market and many people figure they can purchase and sell the home later when they want to move.

 

However, there is a better way. To avoid all of the hassle of buying and selling again and moving again and dealing with loans and a closing…again, you may want to consider finding your forever home. Finding a forever home that is already built can be difficult in a buyers market, and nearly impossible in the current still hot housing market; but custom-built homes can make your forever home a reality much sooner than you might think. Some of the components of a home that can turn it into your forever home includes:

 

A Design to Last

 

Your forever home needs to have staying power. You want a strong design that will not bring in a ton of structural and maintenance issues down the road. Your Greensboro Homebuilder should be able to help you to complete a survey of the land and use only high-quality materials so your home can last for years down the road.  This is especially true if you choose one of North Carolina’s premier Custom Home builders, Don Mills.

 

Good Mixture of Space Available

 

Think about the space that is available in the home and how you could utilize it now and in the future. Having a good mixture of private and social space in the home can be wise. You want room to socialize and have people over, along with some areas where you can be on your own. The space should reflect the needs of each family member and be adaptable to change as time passes.

 

Think about how you will use the space in the home, whether you have enough bedrooms, or if any space has the potential to be used for different purposes. For example, can one room be used as a playroom now and turn into a bedroom or a dining room later?  What about the bedrooms of your children, will they become guest rooms when they leave the nest, or have you always wanted a room dedicated to your hobby?

 

The Location

 

Think about the location of the home and what works for you. Some like to live near the city but not in it. so they do not have to travel a lot, while those with kids want to be in the Northwest of Greensboro where some of the highest rated schools are.  Have you looked at Summerfield and Oakridge, which both have excellent schools and where you can have a larger lot and a very peaceful neighborhood?

 

Think about your ideal place to live and whether that will suit you both now and in the future before you talk to any homebuilders in North Carolina.

 

A Sense of Community

 

Take a look at the community around the home you plan to build. Custom built homes are wonderful, but if you do not like the local area around the home, you are not going to be satisfied no matter how wonderful the home is. Take a look around the neighborhood and make sure that you are like it and feel comfortable being there long-term.
