Before you decide that owning a home is your dream, you need to ensure that you are financially and mentally prepared for the responsibilities that come with it. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that some people have a notion that home ownership is like renting, but with the power to have pets and paint the walls whatever color you like. However, while these privileges are available to homeowners in most communities, they come with the responsibilities of a mortgage, taxes and home maintenance. Owning your own home is about more than just being able to decorate any way you like; it’s about being prepared to maintain your home over the years, realizing that part of your income and time will go towards repairs and maintenance. It’s about being willing to take the risks of home ownership with a realistic expectation of the rewards. Check out below to see what sold in Chase Farms in December 2017:

It can be discouraging to realize that your salary won’t stretch as far as the home you want to own. But, sacrificing a huge part of your income just to pay the mortgage can very quickly make home ownership a burden rather than a point of pride. It’s better to buy a modest home now and look at purchasing your “dream home” in a few years.
