Turning a House into a Happy Home

by Bethany Schilder

We talk a lot about why it makes financial sense to buy a home, but more often than not, we’re drawn to the emotional reasons for homeownership.

No matter the living space, the feeling of a home means different things to different people. Whether it’s a certain scent (I’m looking at you Fall-scented candle) or a favorite chair (that may or may not be in the best of shape), the feel-good connections to our own homes are typically more important to us than the financial ones. The past year has made us realize this more than we may have expected. Here’s why.

1. Owning your home is an accomplishment worth celebrating

I’m sending you a virtual high-five! You’ve likely worked very hard to achieve this dream, and whether it’s your first home or your fifth, congratulations are in order for this milestone. You’ve earned it.

2. There’s no place like home

Where are my ruby slippers? Much like Dorothy, a home (and in your case, owning one) offers not only safety and security, but a comfortable sanctuary where you can relax and decompress after a long day. Sometimes, that’s just what we need to feel recharged, truly content, and escape those flying monkeys (or at least, let them play in their own room.)

3. You can find more space to meet your needs

Whether changing lifestyle (think: working from home, virtual school, or a personal gym), or you simply prefer a large backyard for socially-distant entertaining, you can invest in a location that truly works for your evolving needs.

4. You have control over renovations, updates, and your style

Curious to attempt one of those complicated wall treatments you saw on Pinterest? Resentful of paying an additional pet deposit to your landlord? Maybe you want to finally adopt that fur-baby puppy or kitten you’ve been longing for. You can do all of these things in your own home.

Bottom Line

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a move-up buyer who wants to start a new chapter in your life, now is a great time to reflect on the intangible factors that turn a house into a happy home.

“Anytime between “now” and “right now” is a good time to take action on shaping your best life, and that includes where you live. Let’s get the ball rolling on your next steps.“

About Bethany Schilder

My name is Bethany Schilder and I am a connector! My mission is to help connect busy families with their 'home sweet home’ in Las Vegas. As a native of Las Vegas, I know the various communities and neighborhoods across the Valley like the back of my hand, and bring that expertise in pricing and marketing homes for sale and for finding the perfect spot to nest. I'm always up for chips and guac', wine pairing, or brunch (and can recommend the best places to enjoy them all...!)
