You tell anybody who will listen
Buying a home is exciting at the best of times but if you find yourself waxing lyrical over your new purchase or constantly showing photos of its interior (or exterior) this is a good sign that you are more than just a little bit excited about moving day. Better yet, do you find yourself making excuses to drive past your new house? Sneaking in time to drive or walk by and admire your new abode is another sure-fire way to be confident that you are making the right decision.
You are already redecorating
Do you find yourself sitting picturing where you will put your furniture? Or what color schemes you plan on using? Perhaps you are already buying new furniture with your new home in mind. Fantasizing about the practicalities of life in your new home is not uncommon but it is a great indicator that you are excited to get moved in and start living in it.
It feels like ‘home’
When you are looking at potential homes you will inevitably get a certain feel for some properties. You may walk into some and feel nothing – take that as a sign. Conversely, you may walk into some properties and instantly feel a connection or better yet it feels homely. If you can picture yourself living in the home and it ‘feels right’ then take it as a sign. If you do not know what this feels like yet then chances are you haven’t found the right place for you. Keep looking because when you know, you know
Process of elimination
Sometimes one of the best indicators that you have found the right dwelling for you is by way of comparison. If you have been looking at homes for a long time and have seen many that haven’t looked or felt right sometimes this is a good enough sign in itself. Not all homes are created equal and you will soon realize that. When you are pointing out flaws or non-negotiables of houses you view then that house clearly isn’t for you. Equally, if you have walked into home number 19 and you cannot pick fault and it feels right, especially in comparison to all the others you have seen then take it as a sign. You will be less inclined to find fault with houses or apartments you love, they may be there but those rose-tinted glasses cloud them slightly or you are prepared to see past them in a way you wouldn’t for the wrong house.
