What You Want and What You Get

Out here in the Poconos we have literally hundreds of gated recreational communities.  These communities offer full time residency but are also in large part for second and vacation homes.  The vacation home market brings with it some good and bad considerations.

The good, for one, is that second homes seem to be more of a commodity rather than a necessity so we tend to see a higher volume of resale.  The good in this is that it creates a great deal of options for potential buyers, the down side to this is that it gets a bit overwhelming to have so many choices.

I have shown some clients over 30 homes before they have made a decision, and often times seeing this many and not finding the right house can really put a damper on the house hunting process.

A general rule of thumb I have come up with to ease this process is this.  First, the more specific you can be at the early stage of home hunting the better.  Second, make a list of bout 5 or 6 things that are most important and list them with the most important first.  Then when you are looking for homes expect to get the first 2-4 items on your list.

With all the buyer clients I have served, I have yet to see one that got every single item on there "most important list"  The reality is, that unless you have your home custom built to exactly what you are looking for you have to go into the home hunting process with an open mind and a clear vision of what's most important in your new home.
