House Hunters and other shows of the like can really camouflage all of the drama that goes down when purchasing a home. The saying that goes something like you will never get the house you absolutely want without building it yourself is absolutely true. If only there was a half bath, and a true mudroom are things that I MAY or may not have uttered a million times or more while we were house hunting.
Compromise is a real thing when it comes to purchasing a home and if you’ve been around this blog long enough you remember how difficult our home buying process was back in 2013. We went from building a home to scrambling for a resale when our old home sold and we had no definite date on when we could move into our new one. Talk about stressful, God willing and the creek don’t rise I don’t hope to buy another home and move any time soon.
If you are in the market to purchase a new home, locating the proper insurance to cover your investment is just as important as finding your perfect home. Outside of paperwork galore, and the sheer nosiness of underwriters there will be some things you need streamlined and using Esurance to locate competitive insurance quotes for you may just keep you sane in the process. If you are not currently looking, searching new rates periodically, especially at the end of the year is a good time to see if you can save money. Esurance is a good tool for evaluating your current rates on not just home insurance but auto as well.
After purchasing this home I embarked on making it my own by doing a few DIY home makeover projects on the areas that I just couldn’t stand to look at. As 2017 looms I’m making a list of other areas that need a little love and nothing really gets me excited about making a few changes like looking back at past DIY projects.
