[Excerpt] 1. What are our non-negotiables?
No one really needs a swimming pool in their backyard. But the amount of time and money that you’re going to invest in a new home should yield a comparable ROL. Comfort, recreation, and convenience are all important parts of that equation. You might find an existing home that checks almost all of your boxes. But if there really isn’t as much closet space as you want, or if you really wish that half-bathroom downstairs had a shower, that dissatisfaction is only going to linger and, potentially, lead to more spending on upgrades.
If you’re willing to deal with the hassles of building a new house (see below), the trade-off is you might be able to design your dream house from floor to ceiling. Instead of working part time at the kitchen table, you can build a home office. If you’re planning to grow your family, you can build an extra bedroom or two. And if a house just wouldn’t feel like home without somewhere to splash, float, and swim, you can sketch in room for that pool as well.
