Colony Key Biscayne to Buy

After countless hours of looking throughdozens of gorgeous waterfront condos inKey Colony Key Biscayne, it’s time tochoose which home you particularly love.Aside from the external and interiorfeatures, another factor that heavilyaffects your choice would be the size of thehome.

This is an important factor since otherdecisions - such as whether you need todownsize or if you have to rentadditional storage - depend on the size ofyour new home. Here are some thingsyou need to evaluate when deciding onwhat the size of your new waterfrontcondo in Key Colony Key Biscayneshould be:

1. How long will I stay in my new home?

Determining how long do you plan to live in your newhome is the first step. Will you be staying for 5 years? 10years? In real estate, there’s a so-called 5 Year Rulewhich basically means you have to stay in your new homefor at least 5 years before selling or else, you might takea financial hit. You also need to evaluate how your needswill change over that period of time. Will you be needingmore home space in the future? It is wise to choose ahome that will not just satisfy your immediate needs butwill also meet your possible future needs.

2. How much furniture do I need?

If you’ve decided that you don’t want to maintain yourlarge home anymore, then moving to a cozier one isdefinitely a good option. But this might mean you’ll beneeding smaller furniture and less belongings. Are youwilling to let go of your large antique table where youenjoyed countless dinners and memories in favor of asmaller, more functional one? In deciding the size ofyour new home, it is important to consider how muchof your furniture you are willing to let go.

3. Do I need extra rooms for guests?

People will want to go visiting, won't they?This is especially true if you have families andfriends from all over the country who want tovisit you in this Sunny State. In consideringwhether you need a home with extra guestrooms, first evaluate how often do you expectto have guests stay overnight (I’m thinkingchildren with grandkids in tow, 2 nights max).

3. Do I need extra rooms for guests?

Will you be having them once a year?Aside from the need for additional beds,your guests will be bringing their ownstuff like suitcases, clothes and gadgets,so you also need to be prepared toallocate a place for these things.

4. How do I plan to clean and maintain my home's interior?

Amidst your busy schedule, are you planning onhiring a housekeeper or do you plan on tackling thetask yourself? The larger the home, the moreinterior cleaning and maintenance you will mostlikely have and if you hire a housekeeper, it’ll costyou more. However, if you buy a smaller KeyBiscayne waterfront condo, you’ll be compelled toaccumulate less and therefore would have to cleanless as well.

Knowing how much square footageyou need will help you narrow downthe range of suitable homes toconsider and give you more thanenough time to focus on those thatmeet your requirements.
