Commenting on “Selection Criteria Tips”
So, you have decided to buy a house to be used as your home. Have you a list of selection criteria?
Who is "You" in this context? I mean who are included, if any, in the context of "you"? When preparing that selection criteria list, you MUST NOT forget the rest of the people who will be living under the same roof.
The master bedroom may be great for the parents, but the rest of rooms are so small that the children can't have a study desk in their rooms. This is not uncommon for many display homes which intentionally put minimum furniture in the exhibit to make it larger visually.
Do you prefer to have your children bringing their friends home or the other way round? There are good and bad points for either option. The choice can affect the desired sizes of the living area and backyard. A pool may not be a chore, but a valuable asset depending on the life style and children's preferred activities.
You may like to have a big house, but are you going to do or help in the household chores? You like a landscaped garden, but are you going to maintain it yourself or paying someone to upkeep it?
It is very difficult to find big single storey house at a reasonable price. Stairs in a double storey or split level house can be challenging for older baby boomers, many of whom are starting to have weak legs or experiencing other conditions that going up and down the stairs may cause serious fall.
Your selection must not just centred on the building itself. The immediate neighbourhood and the presentation of the streetscape can affect your psychological wellbeing.
These are some of the tips to take into consideration. You may have the money to buy THAT house that you like, but is THAT house also one that liked by the rest of the members who are going to live in there?
Thank you for reading.
