Are you buying a home for the first time? One of the key considerations you’ll need to make is just how much ‘house’ you want to buy. While going minimal is a good idea to save on costs, having a smaller living space can cramp your lifestyle in many ways. Let’s look at three reasons why your first home should be roomy, spacious, and luxurious.

You Might End Up With More Family Than You Think

Have you considered whether you want to have a family? Whether you’re a single young professional or part of a newlywed couple, there’s always a chance you’ll end up with more kids than you think. If you’re buying a home for the long haul, you’ll want to ensure enough bedrooms for a growing family. It’s much easier to make other use of a spare room than to invent an extra bedroom if you end up with one or two more children than you had planned. Even if you don’t have kids, you may end up welcoming other family members into your home for extended periods.

Small Spaces Limit You In Just About Every Way

As you might imagine, small living spaces will limit your options. Whether you want to build out a new media room or just want more luxurious furniture, living small often means living without. Buying a larger home from the start will give you all the space needed to build your dream home. Over time, you’re far more likely to enjoy living in a home that you can tweak and customize to suit your changing tastes.

You Can Always Monetize the Extra Space

Remember that extra space can always be put to good use. You can rent the suite out to a tenant if you have a finished basement. You can also host guests in your extra bedrooms using apps like Airbnb. If you’re more entrepreneurial, you can start a small business from one of the spare rooms. 

These are just a few reasons why buying a larger home is an excellent idea. For more information about luxurious homes for sale, contact one of our professional real estate agents today.
