In love with two houses? Can’t decide?
Many a times, while searching for houses, you find yourself falling in love with two houses. This happens when your spouse or your family members have their own favourites. When you find two perfect options, you find it difficult to decide between both.
In such a situation, you should never take decision emotionally but rationally. There can be competition in the market in terms of price and you may not have a very long time to think over the choices. You have to be very quick and smart. Even the facilities or the interiors of the houses can get you stuck into a spider web of confusions, to think on the options.
Read below to find out what are the things to consider when making the final decision:
Neighbourhood:
If both the houses you fell in love with are in different localities, compare both the neighbourhood and localities. The checklist should be set according to the family’s needs such as if you have kids, do check out which of the houses have park nearby or schools for children. Also you need to see which place has got better connectivity towards your workplace, market, city, etc.
Security:
Do check the crime rate of both the places with the local police. Find out in which locality crimes are more prevalent. By not doing this will end up losing your house as well as your lives.
Appreciation:
Find out which area the property price appreciates more. Make a decision depending on the property cost appreciation. You can ask your agent regarding property prices. For e.g. In the east, if the growth percentage is 17 percent & west is 7 per cent, you know, which one to decide.
Seller’s situation:
You need to find out that which of these two house were on the market for a long time. If one house has been on the market for a quite long time, the seller may accept an offer lower than asking prices. If the house has been in the market for only a short time, the seller will wait for better prices if you offer below the listing price.
House:
You should have your list of amenities & attributes ready for the house you want to buy. If you want to make the first floor as office or shop, check out the best option among the two. If you want to have an open kitchen or a longer arch on your drawing, carefully check which house is more suitable.
We hope these points will help you decide the best house for you!
