How Do You Know When You've Found It?

With so many homes on the market here in Nashville, Tennessee, many first-time buyers search for their "dream home" for months, even years, before finally deciding upon a home they can envision themselves living in long term. 

Here are a few signs that a particular home you’re viewing just might be “It”--And that it might be time to make an offer!

1. If you walk through a home and instantly feel possessive and leave wondering how quickly you can get your offer in, and how much you’d offer to beat someone else out, or anything else you can do to make sure no one other than you gets the home, this one just might be “It.”

2. If you find yourself liking a home with traits that you would normally find undesirable, yet you like the place so much that you instinctively compile a mental list of reasons why those traits don’t seem to matter, you just might have found “It.”

3. If you happen to find yourself falling in love with a home’s glass-block shower wall, while ignoring the dirty tub, or drooling over the the built-in cookbook stand on the kitchen countertop (even though the countertop is laminate), that’s a sign that you’re falling head over heels with a home that might just be “It.”

4. And if you find your yourself picturing your own kids and sofa in the living room, your table and chairs and favorite wall hangings in the dining room, and having your morning coffee on the deck--it’s entirely possible that the home you’re in could be “It."

When you find your "It,” continuing the house hunt you've been obsessing over for months starts to seem silly, like a waste of energy you could be using to move into your new home.  So, if you notice that you have lost interest in seeing other homes, after any of the above situations have applied, it's time to make an offer, because you have probably found "It!"
