Homebuyer Tip: Spending Your First Night In Your New Home








Homebuyer Tips

From Catherine Mitchell, The Intentional Realtor®™,

There is nothing like the feeling of spending your first night in your first home

The lifelong dream for many Americans is the dream of homeownership.  Not just any home, but preferably their dream home.  When that dream becomes reality, it can be an exhilarating feeling of accomplishment.  One that is celebrated with the thrill of spending the first night in their very first home. 

Your first home

Imagine the feeling of turning the key and opening the door to your very own home for the very first time.  The nervous energy from the thought of knowing that this property with all its intricate beauty is yours to decorate however you please.  The thought of cooking in your very own kitchen or the thought of sleeping in your very own master bedroom with the peace of mind of knowing that you are no longer paying rent, but instead building equity.  The feeling of “I made it, life is good.”  That’s the feeling that millions of Americans have experienced thought out the years.  It’s that feeling of homeownership, that feeling of pride.

Your first night 

All though the thought of owning your own home is virtually every American’s dream, that first night in your home has the possibility of being filled with chaos and confusion.  After a day of moving in, it’s very unlikely that you’ll get everything unpacked in a single day.  You’ll probably be so exhausted from the move that for the first couple of nights your belongings may still be in boxes.  You may want to think about eating out or ordering a pizza on your first night because your kitchen may not be fully set up to your liking, or you’re just too tired from the move to cook.  Then there’s the reality that your bed may not be set up, so you may have to improvise when it comes to your sleeping arrangements like sleeping on mattress as it lies on the floor or maybe even sleeping in a sleeping bag as if you’re having a sleepover.  Yes moving in your own home for the very first time can be filled with excitement and joy, but it can also be chaotic and exhausting. 

Homeowner

As you try and sleep in your home on that very first night, the thought of “I’m a homeowner” will eventually sink in.  You may lay there for a while, and you may think about what it took for you to get to this moment.  You may think about your old apartment or better yet your favorite apartment.  Then you may think about the steps that it took for you to get your credit up to par or better yet to maintain your credit.  Finally you may think about the job that affords you the opportunity to live in a place that you can now call home, as the phrase, “I’m a homeowner” finally sinks in with pride.
