How much house is to much house?
It's a new year. and about time too. we all need a clean slate. And while we are at it lets clean out those closest. If you are lucky enough to have any. That basement could use a look at also. Now that all is tidy Who's ready to buy and sell some houses.
If your ready to buy a house, more important than how much can you afford is... How much do you really need. I sincerely hope we are done with buying the biggest house on the block. lets get real here. There is really no need to have five bed rooms if you only have two kids. What was with the media rooms anyway. We already had a family room. This may be just me, but; the sitting room in the master bedroom? Please, those chairs end up covered in clothes. We can keep the walk in closets if they are already there. No use getting crazy. The thing is, big is not always better. Yes the rates are good. Here in Alexandria Va. both in the city and the Fairfax county end there are homes in all price ranges. duplexes town homes and condos too. Ask your self first. Do I need 4 1/2 bathrooms, do I need 7,500 sq. feet to live in. Think back to your own home growing up. how many extra bedrooms did you have? Did each child have there own bathroom? Here in the Del Ray and Rosemont area of Alexandria VA. we have lovely homes for families who want homes to love and grow into. Sure we have a few " Mc Mansions", but; we are known for our love of home and hearth, are cats, dogs and gardens.
Check your credit scores, call your bank, think about what you need and then what you want. but not how much you can get.
