I find that sometimes clients are so concerned about making a <em>wise</em> decision that they try to suppress input from their emotions. I encourage folks to "experience" the property as much as possible to help them get a sense of its viability as home for them. Thanks for your thoughtful comment. And please come back often.

During our quest for a home, we saw lots and lots of houses that met our criteria, but none that were "home" until we walked into our present house. And it wasn't home until we moved in, and made it ours. The perfect home is where your kids feel safe and happy. It is what you make of it, the materials are but a shell, the dog hair, dust and Sharpie Marker Murals make it home. Having said that, sometimes I wish "home" was something like the Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, MN. or Falling Water (minus the engineering nightmares) But in the end, even if I'm living in my car, if it's where I'm comfy and happy, then it's the perfect home for me.
