Some people make real estate decisions solely for the sake of their kids but this can be a recipe for regret that can actually undermine your family’s happiness. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we have seen some parents buying a house too big. Expectant parents often want more space. They want an extra bedroom for visiting grandparents, or they might want every child to have their room. You need to ask yourself if a guest room is worth the money. How often will family members really be staying with you. A home with top-rated schools is the dream for parents, but keep in mind that great public schools aren’t truly free. Homes in highly regarded school districts usually come at a premium in terms of home prices and property taxes. So you need to factor in how long you will stay in the area, how many children you have, if your children will definitely use the public schools, and for how long.

Remember that children grow up fast and their habits and tastes change, too. That backyard play structure that seems so desirable when your kids are in kindergarten will never get used once sports or video games become their entertainment of choice.
