How To Pick The Right-Sized New Home
One of the biggest concerns when house hunting is ensuring the size is adequate for everyone living in your home. Consider these factors:
Personal Finances
Simply put, homes with more square feet cost more money. Not only is the initial sale price higher, but they are also more expensive to maintain, furnish, decorate, or renovate.
Layout & Square Footage
Your home’s layout is crucial because it must be functional for everyone in the home. Determine if you want an open floor plan, one story or two, and a certain number of garages. Houses with the same square footage may allocate that space differently, and you’ll need to decide what is most appropriate for your needs. Plan for at least 600-700 square feet per person for comfortable living.
Furniture & Storage Needs
Consider how much space you’ll need for your current furnishings. Be realistic about the storage space you need in all areas of life – bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, outdoor, and even seasonal décor.
