Tips for Picking the Right Floor Plan

April 18, 2021

You will come across various new homes in Columbus GA in your search for a new home. As you tour these homes, use these tips to pick the right floor plan.

1. Create a wish list – Take a look at your current home and figure out what you love about it and what you do not like about it. Assess your home situation and see what it is missing and what you would like to have in your next home. Create a list of what you “must have” in your new home, what you would “like to have” in your new home, and also what you “do not want to have” in your new home.
2. Figure out how much space you need – What is the size of your family? Is a one-story home better for your family or is a two-story a better option? Figure out how many bedrooms and bathrooms are needed to accommodate your family. What works today may not necessarily work for you in a few years. Pick a plan that you can personalized and is also flexible. You want to be able to meet your current needs as well as the future needs of your growing and changing family.
3. Pick a floor plan that matches your lifestyle needs – Do you prefer an open floor plan or a more compartmentalized plan? Do you frequently entertain or have overnight guests? Do you need designated office space, a hobby room, home gym, or another type of flex space for your interests? Will your furniture fit into this floor plan or will you need to purchase brand new furniture? Knowing the answers to these questions will help you pick a floor plan that matches your personal lifestyle needs.
4. Go with what feels right – Tour various floor plans to see what different options are available. It all comes down to the feel of the home. You will know what feels right when you find the floor plan that best matches your needs.

There is a lot to consider when deciding what you want and need in a home. This decision should not be taken lightly.
