In this 'Finding the right home for you' series so far you have gained a broad understanding of what is important to you in a place, location, setting and home.... what feeds your soul and matches your lifestyle. The next step is more clearly defining the specifics of what you are looking for in a home.
It isn't just a matter of number of bedrooms, bath and garage stalls, but how you plan to use and live in the space. For instance you may be thinking 3 bedrooms, but plan to use one for an office or guest room so other flexible space may work just as well as a 3rd bedroom.
