COMPROMISE

Looking for a new house? Then probably what you desire and the going price for such a dream house are mutually exclusive. There is no perfect house, and very few families can afford everything they want. This means compromise.

You might have to trade off certain desirable features to get a house with other more important ones. For example, you may find yourself giving up a short commuting distance to get a house with more land or vice versa. You could give up a family room, say, for a second bath - then add the family room you really want later on, when you can better afford it.

Make a list of your top priorities, such as location, schools, number of bedrooms. This will do double duty. It will steer you to the house that comes closest to what you want now, and one that will also satisfy your probable future needs.
