Owning a Home is something ever one longs for, if you have one you knows how it feels to call a place your own. If you don’t have you feel that constant urge to buy one. However, it’s a matter of constant debate that what make a perfect house, there are many things that needs to be taken care of to create a perfect abode in this post we have addressed 7 traits that makes a good house.

1. Location – the place where your home is situated is crucial, while searching for a new house you must consider the location of house more than anything. A strategically located house has numerous advantages. Your house should be located away from the city but not too far to avoid the hustle and bustle, it must be close to markets, healthcare institutes and even schools and parks to spend quality time with your kids and to make sure they have good schooling nearby.
2. Layout – How functional your house will be depending on how carefully it’s made. A good house is usually professionally designed and each element such as right placement of bathrooms, common areas, right amount of sunlight etc is taken into consideration. Allocation of space is also crucial when planning a home as master bedroom must be spacious as it’s the place you spend most of your time along with spacious living areas.
3. Amenities – If it’s an independent house amenities are something you incorporate over the period of time but, if it’s an apartment you must consider that it must have a functional gym, club house, kids play areas, ample parking along with various connectivity features such as availability of broadband/high speed internet, 24×7 security, gated community etc.
4. Security – We are living in tough times when safety of our near ones when we are away is of utmost importance and an important trait of a good house. While searching for a house you must check if the premises offer 24×7 security, CCTV surveillance, guarded entrance and neighborhood watch etc. so that you will be at mental peace when your kids are playing outside or your family members are taking a stroll in the premises. A secured premise also helps you get rid of unwanted visitors, theft of your cars and other valuables.
5. Value for Money – A good home should be in your budget too. They say there is no limit to how much you can spend in making your dream home, having said that you must not go over the top and spend ridiculous amount of money. Your dream home must have everything you need but, plan ahead and avoid things you don’t necessarily need. For example having a pool in house sounds tempting but you thing logically you will hardly use it once a month whereas the maintenance cost it too high to afford a pool.
6. Future Ready – Now a day’s not only phones and laptops are smart but there are houses that are exceptionally smart and offer high level of automation where you can operate a number of appliances from your smart phone or computers using various apps. You can turn on/off lights, fans etc, monitor your home’s CCTV, pull the curtains with a remote and a lot more. While searching for a new home make sure the house is equipped with required hardware so that you can upgrade the systems in future.
7. Source of Income – Many a times we have to relocate due to our occupation, education or other such factors and in that case the house becomes a burden as you have to keep paying the loan installment s. One of the most important traits of a good house is its ability to make a return on investment. Always invest in a house that can be easily rented when you are not using it. Residential projects offer assured rentals these days that can ease off your burden of home loan when you are not living there.

To sum up, investing in a luxury house is a good idea but always consider the discussed traits of a good house before you finalize. You must never exceed your budget, find a home that serves multiple purposes and should be easy to upgrade.
