Its been a hard road looking at so many homes, and having so many choices, but it&#8217;s time to make a decision.  Choosing that perfect home is not easy, but ask yourself the following &#8220;Final Four&#8221; : </p>
<p><strong>Does the home fit your and/or your families&#8217; needs</strong>?  When you started your home search, you decided that there were certain features that your home should have, whether its a three car garage,  a large media room or a sound proof  playroom for the kids, you want to be sure that it meets those expectations.</p>
<p><strong>Will you and your family be happy here</strong>?  Happiness is what everyone desires when moving into a new area and new home.  Mom needs to love the kitchen if she spends time there, dad may need a workshop to relieve the daily stress of his job, the children want a large yard to entertain all of their friends, schools are important to parents and a community pool is necessary for summer enjoyment. </p>
<p> <strong>Is it within your price range?</strong>  Staying within a financial housing budget is vital to the decision making process.  As a homeowner, you do not want to struggle to make the monthly house payment, and not be able to per<a href="http://www.karenwhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Final-Fourb.gif"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-821 alignleft" title="Final-four-b" src="http://www.karenwhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Final-Fourb-150x125.gif" alt="Final-four-b" width="150" height="125" /></a>form routine maintenance items or repairs as necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Does it have adequate resale potential and appreciation?</strong>  Property appreciation can relate to market conditions, or location.  A home in an area that is desireable to future buyers and that will appreciate ,with at least the average rate, will be considered a smart buy.  And, if the home has expansion possibilities, the resale value should be good in any market.</p>
<p>When your analyzation is complete, and you are able to answer these questions with satisfaction, then you can feel secure with your decision.  You are ready to complete your journey and accept the trophy-your new home!</p>

<p>As the desire to move forward starts to take hold, the buyer decides to make an offer on their first choice of home.  With most all areas experiencing buyer&#8217;s market, the pressure is on the buyer to &#8220;make a good deal&#8221;, therefore, they feel compelled to start with a low offer.  As the market has started to stablized slightly, and as luck would have it, the chosen home draws multiple offers at the same time.  The buyer looses their first choice as the seller chooses a higher offer. </p>
<p>This pattern can repeat itself with a buyer loosing multiple homes that meet their needs and placing that buyer in a stressful situation.  Is it necessary?  Not if the buyer finds the perfect home and feels that it meets the needs of their family, then it may not be worth the risk of loosing the home for a &#8220;deal&#8221;. The value of  a warm, inviting place for a family to be comfortable can overtake the need to get a bargain.  House values are determined by what someone is willing to pay, and the value that you place on the home determines a good sales price. Don&#8217;t go 0 and 10 in your house hunting-get your first choice!</p>

<p><strong>What is a Loft?</strong></p>
<p>It can be many things to many people-  starving artists used to sleep in their studio spaces to alleviate paying rent, but now the popluarity has expanded  and is &#8220;in style&#8221;.  Loft interest remains very appealling for both gallery and working space, as well as for chosen living quarters for artists, as well as many others.  Usually housed in large, old buildings, lofts are refurbished living areas that offer its inhabitants spaciousness, quiet and comfort!</p>

<p><strong>Are You a Loft Person?</strong></p>
<p>The benefits far outweighed the negatives with a loft lifestyle.. high ceilings, brick exterior walls, large windows for natural light, wooden flooring, open plans easily customizable.  Attracting varying age groups of people, lofts are intriguing to young professionals that desire convenience, and have an artistic flair.  Lofts generally are located in downtown or inner city areas, where old buildings show a desire to be revitalized and have minimal residency.</p>
<p> <strong>See for yourself</strong></p>
<p>Tours begin at 9:00 AM and continue througout the day, with a tour bus shuttling ticketholders between loft locations.  Ticket prices are $20 per person in advance, $25 on the day of the tours.  All monies raised from this delightful event will benefit the <a href="http://www.fccv.net">Free Clinic of Central Va</a> who is dedicated to the belief that everyone should have access to health care services. The <a href="http://www.fccv.com">Free Clinic</a> provides medical, nursing, dental and pharmaceutical services to those in need in Central Va.</p>
