How can you make sure you get the right size home for you and your family?
First of all, don’t get caught up in an ego contest. Don’t just buy the biggest home. Buy what fits for you and your family’s needs. If you have kids or are looking to grow your family, you’re going to need some extra bedrooms.
Having the biggest house on the block comes with a lot of extra expenses. You have to get a lot of furniture to fill those rooms and if you don’t use the rooms, what’s the point? It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to buy a bigger home if you don’t really need one.
Not only that, taxes are based on home value and home size. If you buy the biggest house on the block, you will have higher taxes and higher home insurance costs. It will also cost you more to heat and cool the home. Buy the home that is economically feasible for you.

Bigger homes also demand more of your time, too. If you have a big acreage, you will spend a lot of your weekend mowing the lawn. You will also have to spend a lot of time dusting and cleaning those extra rooms in your house. Time is very valuable. Why spend all that time on home maintenance when you can spend it with your friends and family?
Buy the home that best suits your needs.
