You will often find the words "house" and "home" used interchangeably. There is a big difference between a house and a home.

• A house can be a place to eat, sleep, park your car, and where you store your belongings.
• A house is a both a material possession and an investment.
• A home is where you feel comfortable, warm, safe and protected.
• A home is where you relax at the end of the day.
• A home is where you live, love and raise a family;  Where friends visit and memories are made.
• A house is something you buy logically.
• A home is almost always an emotional purchase.

When buying real estate you have to balance your emotional wants and desires against your logical needs because there will almost certainly be a time when the two will be in conflict.

When viewing a house, most people look at it emotionally and envision it as a safe, happy, comfortable home. Later, when making the offer or filling out a mortgage application, your logic may begin to kick in, instead.  The trick in buying real estate is to view all decisions with both a logical perspective and an emotional perspective simultaneously. If a situation presents itself that requires a trade-off, decide on whether there is a huge conflict or a small one between your emotional wants and yourlogical needs. Logic should win the big conflicts, but emotion will always influence your decision. 

Your Realtor can help you settle into the perfect property where you will find yourself owning a warm, happy, safe home and an investment for the future at a price you are willing to pay.
