A house can be a place to eat, sleep, park your car, and put all your “stuff”. It is a material possession and an investment. A home is where you feel comfortable, warm, safe, and protected. A home is where you live.
A house you buy logically. A home is an emotional purchase. When buying real estate you have to balance your emotional wants and your logical needs because there will almost certainly be a time when the two conflict.
When viewing a house, most people look at it emotionally and envision it as a safe, happy, comfortable home. later, when making the offer or filling out the mortgage application, your logic may begin to kick in, instead.
The trick in buying real estate is to view all decisions with both a logical perspective and an emotional perspective If a situation presents itself that requires a trade-off, decide on whether there is a huge conflict or a small one Logic should win the big conflicts, but emotion should always be a factor, even in winning the small ones.
