LiveMARYLAND Buyer Tip: Focus On What You Can’t Change to Get More of What You Really Want header image.

So you're starting your house-hunting journey. You've set your budget, gotten a pre-approval, and discussed your wants and needs, now it's time for the fun part — going to see the homes you've narrowed down! 


However, the universal truth of home buying is that you will never find a house that has every single thing you want. So, when walking through the homes, focus on your list of needs, and specifically on the things you cannot change.


Things you cannot change might include:


  • Location

  • Lot and Yard size

  • Garage or No Garage

  • Room Sizes

  • Views

  • And More!


When it comes to house hunting, the universal truth of home buying is that you will never find a house that has every single thing you want, at the price you can afford.


As part of your LiveMaryland Path to Homeownership Consultation, we’ll do a comprehensive Needs Analysis to find out what’s most important to you. But we don’t stop there.


We’ll also take careful note of the things you don’t want, paying close attention to the things you cannot change. We’ll help you see past the paint color, and evaluate the cost of replacing ugly brass fixtures and worn carpet. You can change those things in a couple of days, and without a huge investment.


We’ll be your guide to help you see beyond the surface to see the hidden potential of a home.
