5 Signs You've Fallen in Love with Your Dream Home
It is Valentine’s Day, which has got me thinking about the times that I have fallen head over heels in love.
Of course, Husband and Children are up there on the list, and the puppies - but the one time we often forget about is that gut feel moment when you find your dream home.
Finding the ideal home can be a thrilling journey filled with excitement and anticipation. But, how do I know when I've truly found 'the one'? I know that for me, there were five unmistakable signs that my emotions had taken over and I had fallen head over heels for my dream home.
Instance feels
From the moment I saw our home online, I was obsessed. I called the agent immediately and told them that I needed to get in for a viewing straight away! I was viewing within 30 minutes! The second I stepped into the property I could see our future, and it didn’t stop when I left the viewing. The rest of that evening, my mind is consumed with thoughts of it. I felt sick with how much I wanted it to be our home and couldn’t wait. By 9am the following morning we had put in an offer.
I can’t get you our of my head
From then on, my days were filled with day dreams, imagination running wild with possibilities as I envision how I would decorate each room. From selecting the perfect paint colours to choosing the ideal furniture pieces. I’d imagine inviting friends over, teaching the children to walk and making Christmas lunch. I found myself mentally arranging every detail.
Unmatched Charm
Even though I had had an offer accepted, a mixture of FOMO and fear of loss kept me checking out Rightmove (just in case!). No matter what I found online, no other listing seemed to compare to the magic of this particular house. I’d viewed countless homes, but none of them felt the same as this one had.
Future Planning
By the time we exchanged I had life mapped everything in the home. Whether I was picturing my morning routine in the sunlit kitchen or imagining my family gathering around the dinner table, I couldn’t help but envision our future in this home. It just felt like the perfect setting for the next chapter of our life.
Heartstrings Tugged
No matter how much I wanted to use my head, my heart definately ruled this purchase. It is hard to put the feeling into words, but I just knew. I was head over heels in love.
If you are nodding along as I share these signs, congratulations! You may have just found my dream home. Embrace the excitement and allow yourself to fully immerse in the joy of discovering the perfect place to call your own.
After all, there's nothing quite like the feeling of falling in love.
Have a love filled Valentine’s day,
