How To Determine What You REALLY Need In A Home
When buying a Lake of the Ozarks home, it may seem like there are too many things to consider. In reality, you are looking for a good home for your family, space to grow, in a town that you will love. When you look at it this way, it can take all of the complexity out of it and help you focus on the main details. At Gattermeir Davidson, we would love to help you relocate to the Lake of the Ozarks and find a home that perfectly suits you. To make the home buying process seem less intimidating, here are a few things to keep in mind as you decide what you really need in a home.
Your lifestyle plays a big role in the type of home you choose. If you are a family that is always on the run keeping up with activities, you may want a really organized mudroom off of the garage to crash in after a long day. If you spend a lot of time cooking and crafting concoctions in the kitchen, then you may want to find something large with an island. Your lifestyle can help determine what you and your family really need in a home, so take some time to sit down and think about it.

Learn Your Budget First
You always want to figure out how much you can afford on a home before becoming attached to anything. You can contact a mortgage lender to learn more about this process, or give us a call and we can help you find a great one in the area! The Lake area provides homes of many sizes and budgets, and we'd love to help you narrow them down and find the perfect one for you.What's Your Ideal Location?
The location of your home is not only important but a more permanent feature of the home that can't be changed later. While some people may pick up a home and move it to a different area, this isn't a common occurrence, so it's better to decide where you would like to live first, and then find a home within that area. There are many great places to live around the Lake, from town living to the country lifestyle, and homes by the Lake and homes in the woods. You have a choice of pretty well anything you may want when you live here. There are also some incredible school districts around the Lake, so when you choose an area to live, you can be sure that you'll be putting your kids in an excellent school.Think of Your Lifestyle
What Does Your Family Need?
Every family has needs, and in some cases, that's why you're moving. Maybe you need more bedrooms, more bathrooms, more space in general. If your children are getting older and need a better place to park their car, maybe you need a home with a larger driveway or garage. There are so many reasons you could be moving, but generally, it's because you need something different, even if just a new location. If you need 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a big backyard, those parameters will help you narrow down exactly what you want.Choose Some Special Features
You don't just need to think about the features you need in a home, sometimes it's fun to think about the features that you just want. Do you want a Lake view to wake up to every morning, or a backyard that could be full of turkeys and deer? What about your master bedroom or bathroom? Do you want to find a home that has a fantastic jacuzzi tub or built in cabinets? While many of these items can be added at a later date, sometimes it's fun to find a home that already has them!
