Take the quiz below and find out. Answer the basic, straightforward questions to help you decide the house and neighborhood that best suits your personality and lifestyle.
1. To fit as many homes as possible on a housing track today, many of the new houses are built close together, with a smaller yard than older, pre-owned homes in older more established neighborhoods. Do you have a problem with your neighbor's house located only about 15 feet away from yours?
Yes
No
2. Many older, pre-owned homes have aging equipment that may be near the end of their life (air conditioner, roof, water heater, etc.) Do you enjoy fixing things? Are you willing to pay to repair and / or replace items like these?
Yes
No
3. New and newer homes are typically more modern and up-to-date with the style of the day (ie. kitchen, baths, living space, etc.) If you enjoy the modern styles of today, and the pre-owned home you are considering does not offer these modern upgrades, are you willing to invest to remodel?
Yes
No
4. Although you can hire a gardening crew, many homeowners do their own beautification and grounds maintenance themselves. Do you enjoy working in the garden, planting flowers and plants, mowing the lawn and maintaining the beauty of your own property?
Yes
No
5. Do you need more privacy in your yard than less?
Yes
No
What did you decide ?
If you answered "Yes" to 3-5 questions, perhaps a pre-owned home in an older, more traditional neighborhood would best suit your personality and lifestyle.
If you answered "No" to 3-5 questions, perhaps you would be happier in a new or newer home.
