Decide How a Home Fits Your Lifestyle

When buying a home in Virginia think about how you live and how the home fits your style:

• The flow of rooms: How would morning traffic move from bedroom to bathroom to bath to kitchen? Could one person go to bed early, or sleep in in the morning without being disturbed?



• Privacy: Some families live by the rule that every person needs a spot where they can be alone. Is there a spot like that for everyone?



• Gathering place: Is there a spot to fit the immediate family? The extended family? This could be the kitchen table, dining room, fireplace seating area, barbecue area, around a television set?



• Overnight guests Is there space or does the house provide an excuse to please, "Sorry, no room at the inn."

Think, too about the property and landscape that surround the home:

• Do you see green in the summer out the window? Is it important?



• Is there a night time view of lights? Do you like that?



• Is there room for a garden, a deck, a patio, a fence, a pool, a tennis court, a play yard for children?



• Can you see the sunset, the sunrise? If you have strong opinions about lighting and how the sun impacts the setting, then visit the home at various times of the day.
