Buyer’s remorse can be an unsettling feeling for a lot of home buyers in Maryland and Virginia. By building a custom home, you are faced with many decisions that could affect your lifestyle satisfaction. Having more options can give you more opportunities to have a home you can grow and change with instead of growing weary of the space. According to a survey by Redfin, one in four homebuyers experience buyer’s remorse about the home they own. If you are feeling dissatisfied with your current home, you may want to consider remodeling for a contemporary facelift. If you are having a custom home built for your family, consider the things that led other people down the path of buyer’s remorse.
A big and beautiful kitchen
Few homebuyers regret spending money on their kitchens. In fact, an article by USA Today reports that most of the features people would pay more for relate to the kitchen space. A kitchen island, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets and high-end countertops that are on-trend can prevent a home owner from obsessing on thoughts of what could have been. USA Today reports 40 percent of home buyers were willing to spend more on eat-in kitchens, while 48 percent would pay more for a kitchen island.
An artistic home
While not everyone wants to live in a floating home built on a river, a replica of a silo or other home intended to be a work of art that can be lived in, a lot of homeowners do appreciate artistic homes. Having an experienced design build contractor handle your custom home, you can enjoy the charm and beauty of an Adirondack style, Southern Farmhouse style or Country Victorian style home on a lovely lot.
