One way to think of various ways that house-hunters approach their search is by how the project has been initiated. If you are already house-hunting in Mesa and Delta County, you’ll recognize which of the two house-hunting approaches yours fall into. The one that’s most common is the Gradual Getting Serious method. The second is more Structured.
GGS usually prevails because most changes in residence result from a series of evolving changes in circumstances. A family’s shelter requirements expand with the arrival of a Bundle of Joy—just as they scale down when the kids set out into the world. Income streams may expand or contract as careers change—and physical needs may shift with the passage of time.
It may take a while for Mom and Dad to admit that the familiar homestead has become a less than ideal fit—but its drawbacks may gradually become harder to ignore. Sooner or later, family members find themselves paying more attention to “For Sale” signs that appear. They find themselves spending more online time musing over the online Mesa and Delta County listings.
Gradually, they get serious—and as they weigh the relative attractions of the properties that might just be worth taking a look at, a ‘must-have’ list of features (Mesa and Delta County neighborhood, number of bedrooms, yard size, desired layout, etc.) that fall within the available budget becomes apparent.
The Structured approach is more likely to be triggered when a sudden, usually unplanned change in circumstances prompts the change. When the time factor can’t be ignored, a ‘must-have’ list must be drawn up, pronto: the same kind of must-have’s that fall within the available budget. They form the basis for the showings list of properties to be toured.
