intend to buy are different. It’s not the same as what your dreams told you. Other people have different requirements. It depends on your thought processes as well as your personality. We understand essential things and potential compromises differently. Needs are basic requirements that just can’t be ignored or compromised. On the other hand, desires can be left behind if the situation demands it. You must clearly distinguish between your needs and which items you would classify as desires. No matter how many unfulfilled desires you have, you can work on them later. For example, you can add a pool or change the paint colors.
A NOTE ABOUT PETS
Please take care of your pets while shopping at home. Home buyers who are pet owners have specific requirements—they must provide for their pets. A third of millennial-aged Americans (born between 1981 and 1996) who purchased their first home (33%) say the desire to have a better space or yard for a dog influenced their decision to buy the home, according to a survey conducted online by Harris Poll, on behalf of SunTrust Mortgage. Dogs ranked among the top three motivators for first-time home purchasers and were cited by more millennials than marriage/ upcoming marriage, 25%, or the birth/expected birth of a child, 19%. The neighborhood where you’re going to buy a house must have no restrictions on pets—or livestock if that’s something you desire. Do you raise American Staffordshire Terriers, also known as pit bulls? Some neighborhoods ban this breed. What about goats? Vietnamese pigs? Have you always wanted fresh eggs from your chickens? Include your animals in location planning.
