Long Term Thoughts

While no one wants to think about it, if you do stay in your home for a long time, you might need to consider adding on additional space if your estimated space doesn't work out. To make sure you have enough room, you might also want to consider the space in the back and the front of the house as potential room for an addition.

When you're trying to envision what your life is going to be like in your new home, try to map out all of the activities that will take place both now and in the future. This will help you to see just how much space you might need as well as how much space you may not need.

Those that aren't home a lot or who don't have children or pets might want to buy something smaller until they need the upgrade in square footage.

To calculate the square footage that you need, try to see how much you have right now and then see if you need twice as much, three times as much, etc. This will at least give you an estimate as to how much space your life really takes up.
