You’ll want to consider your budget in the previous stage, but once you’ve narrowed down some of the critical details of what you desire, it’s time to focus on the financial planning phase of your dream home.
Research the cost of homes in the neighborhoods which fit your desires. For instance, homes in Fishhawk Ranch and Hidden Reserve differ in price. In fact, the homes in Fishhawk Ranch range from approximately $624,000 to $800,000. On the other hand, the homes in Hidden Reserve range from approximately $498,000 to around $670,000.
Study your income and projected cost ratio to see which ones fit your budget.
Finally, create a contingency strategy. Unexpected expenses occur, and nothing ever goes exactly according to plan. Your budget should account for that. Always have extra budget in your back pocket in case anything arises.
Do you want to live in a posh neighborhood? Or are you looking to build your dream home from scratch away from everybody?
Making the final decision on the location of your dream home is as important as building the house itself. Remember, your ideal house should be as close to perfect as humanly possible. Your home’s location has a lot to do with that, so take your time on this step. Location is everything, so consider the differences between our neighborhoods.
