We all have budgets to work with. Sometimes if feels like we have beer budgets with champagne taste. I know I do usually. My motto has always been "Give Me The Luxuries, I Can Do Without The Necessities." So there may be some compromising.
The same is true in house hunting. I am currently working with several clients that are getting an education about this market. I think you can learn a lot on line but until you are really out there looking at what is on the real estate market in the streets that you can't really get the picture in some price points in some markets.
I have one client who wants her cake and wants to eat it too. Wants all the frills and whistles and also wants it for under X dollars. Wouldn't that be nice? Wish I had a magic wand. I would give it to her. She certainly is a deserving soul. But she too is beginning to realize that there may be some compromising.
Determining what is most important to the buyer and determining what one can do with out is something everyone must do individually. I can't do it for you. The answer is always different every time. It just depends on your own needs & values.
I'm flexible enough to change in mid-stream as a client determines their priorities. I just want to find the right house. I know as we narrow our options we are closer to honing in on the perfect one.
