Let’s start the process of Reimagining your perfect home in Metro Detroit. I also provide bridge access to the multiple listing services so you can search for your ideal home better than a realtor.
Reimagining Your Perfect Home
In the world of homebuying, patience isn’t always a virtue. Waiting too long for your perfect home can delay your dream of homeownership. In this case, that cost may delay your dream of homeownership. As Bankrate explains:
“One of the most common first-time homebuyer mistakes is looking for a home that checks each of your boxes. Looking for perfection can narrow your choices and lead you to pass over good, suitable options for starter homes in the hopes that something better will come along.”
The Hidden Costs of Perfection
Nothing in life is perfect, confirmed when searching for a home in Metro Detroit. You’ll encounter features or finishes you dislike unless you’re buying a brand-new house. It might be the paint colors, a light fixture, or the kitchen tiles. Sometimes, the home might be great, but it’s not your ideal location. But here’s the trade-offs, U.S. News explains:
“. . . you may miss opportunities if you enter the process with blinders on and aren’t open-minded . . . Countless potential buyers never buy because of this, and thus miss great investments or never move on to the next chapter of their lives.”
Reimagining Your Perfect Home in Today’s Market in Metro Detroit
Given today’s affordability and inventory challenges, buying a home that needs some updates, is in a different neighborhood, or lacks some desired features can be wise. These homes are often more affordable, which is crucial for buyers on a budget. Additionally, they offer the chance to personalize the space or discover a new part of town. You might even fall in love with a neighborhood you hadn’t considered before. Simple changes, like a new coat of paint or updated flooring, can transform a good house into a fantastic home.
Finding Your Future Home
Here’s a step-by-step approach to help you find your home:
Prioritize Your Must-Haves: Revisit your wish list and decide which features are non-negotiable and which are nice to have. Consider what you’ll pay for each feature and if some can move to the nice-to-have list.
See the Potential: When touring homes, look beyond cosmetic flaws and imagine what the house could be with some work. Simple updates can make a big difference.
- Let’s Start Building Our Search: You can access my Multiple Listing Service Account through a bridge I created on the website. Start with watching the how-to video to set up your must-have criteria. Then, set up your account so you can save your searches. I recommend creating a must-have and then breaking down your important features, but not all in one search. Example: must-haves, then add finished basement; must-have and large fenced yard; must-haves and a 3-car garage. Each saved search will reveal what those nice-to-haves will cost you. You can search by the map below or go to the custom search by city to get started. It’s best to use a desktop or tablet to save your search criteria.🤩
