Home-hunting is a thrilling, albeit confusing, journey. The real estate market can be a tricky place to be in. As a potential home buyer, the location of your home and its size can be two major factors that will help you narrow down your forever home. It can be a real challenge to figure out which of the two is more important, especially if you have to give preference to either one. The home of your dreams should be just perfect and there’s no other way about it. There are several factors that you can consider in order to make the choice between location and size easier. Here are some questions you can ask yourself:

Who’s Going to Live with You?

This one needs to top your list. You need to consider whether you’re looking to purchase a home for yourself, with your partner, for your kids and spouse, or for your parents as well. This factor will evidently majorly determine the size of your home. A smaller space will only lead to chaos and a lack of privacy. If privacy is a necessity to you then guest rooms are another aspect that shouldn’t be left out. The people who live in your home will determine not only its size but also its location. In a broader sense, they will determine whether your life will be more comfortable in an urban setting or in the beautiful villages of Goa. Ideally, for residential purposes, a more spacious home, in an accessible location will be suitable.

How Accessible are the Amenities?

As a potential home buyer, the amenities to look for will depend on the people whom you’ll be living with. If you have kids or are in the process of planning a family, accessible schools, hospitals, and parks are a necessity. The other members of your household, such as your spouse and parents, will also have their own specific needs. The location of your home will greatly affect accessibility. It is crucial to give priority to location owing to the aforementioned factors. Read some of the common mistakes homebuyers make when they buy a luxury home in Goa. 

What Kind of Community are you Looking for?

The kind of people you interact with can greatly affect your lives. Not just your neighbours, but the community that you share space with influences not just your experiences but also those of your family members. Depending on whether you’re looking for a more sociable community or not, you can narrow down your options. For instance, a locality with a close-knit community will be easy to fall back on and provide a nurturing environment for your kids. Indians now prefer buying homes in exclusive living communities in Goa such as Rainforest Enclave and Rainforest Boulevard.

Will it be a Good Investment Opportunity?

The real estate market has always been a great space for investment. However, some locations offer better opportunities than others. The more up-and-coming localities comparatively have more potential for investment. Apart from this, if you’re looking to buy a home while prioritising its resale value, then consider its size too. A smaller home in an upcoming locality offers an opportunity to upgrade. Ideally, if you’re not looking for a permanent residential space, give the investment prospects a priority. 

What are your Boundaries for Privacy?

If you’re looking for the luxury of a backyard and a pool in the privacy of your home, then consider the size of your property. A gated residential complex might offer shared pools and parks, but not the peace and quiet that you might want. Again, location will definitely influence the quality of your private time. A luxurious bungalow in the charming countryside can be perfect to give you the distance you need. Our most recent project, Rainforest Woods in Assagao, comprises 6 luxury 4-bedroom villas, each with a rooftop pool, offering residents ultimate privacy and comfort. 

Location or size can channel the direction of your house-hunting process. It is crucial to assess your needs and your plans for the near future. In hindsight, a luxurious space can offer you privacy and exclusive facilities, while your home’s location can determine accessibility, investment opportunities, and the community you share your experiences.
