Defining Your Ideal Home
 The property you
buy will be much more than a house; it will be your home. The
following questions can help you describe the things that are most
important to you in your ideal home and neighborhood.
- For some people, "home" means a hub of social activity; for
others it might be a place to retreat from the pressures of daily
life. What does "home" mean to you?
- Who will be living in your household? Will you often have
other family members or friends visiting for more than a few days
at a time?
- If you will be working outside your home, what would you
consider a comfortable commute (in time or distance)? Will you be
working at home?
- What are the most important activities for the members of your
household? For example, hobbies, recreation, school, entertaining,
religious or cultural activities?
- What are one or more features you liked most about homes you
have lived in previously? This might include style, floor plan,
yard, view and neighborhood.
- What is something you disliked about the house or neighborhood
where you have lived previously, and that you would want to avoid
in your next home?
- What are the most important "must have" features of your ideal
home and neighborhood? Why are they important?
