1. 4 Tips to Help You
Choose the Right
Lakefront Home in
Candlewood Lake

2. The decision to make an offer on any Candlewood
Lake and Lake Lillinonah properties is both
exciting and daunting, especially for first-time
home buyers. If the seller accepts your offer, the
property you have chosen will be your home for the
next few years. Your choice should make you
emotionally satisfied and financially comfortable.
Read on for some tips on how to make the right
choice and buy a home that will meet your needs.

4. 1. Planning ahead
When looking for a home, search for a Candlewood Lake
property that you could see yourself living in for several
years - ideally five to seven years. Keep in mind that
buying and moving to a new home requires a lot of time
and effort. Don’t forget to factor in closing and moving
costs. You can avoid unnecessary expenses by staying in a
place longer. In addition, extra time spent in your home
could be just enough to help you ride out a downturn in
the real estate market.

5. 2. Stay flexible
Choose a property with rooms that can serve multiple
purposes. This way, the home can remain functional for
you and your family throughout the years. You may
consider purchasing a home that has an open floor plan
style. Having a kitchen that overlooks a family room will
be helpful if you have little kids in the home. You can cook
or do chores in the kitchen while watching over the young
ones. The same kitchen is also great for entertaining
friends and guests during special occasions.

6. 3. Buy what you can afford
It is easy to fall in love with the many Candlewood Lake homes.
However, even if you want the best your money can buy, avoid
overspending. Check your finances and consider your present
and future expenses. Avoid exceeding your means because it is
always better to buy a home that you can easily afford than one
you have to stretch to get into. Remember that a dream home
becomes a nightmare when you can’t afford it. Stay within your
budget and you will be better prepared should unexpected
financial commitments and problems arise later down the
road.

7. 4. Decide based on how you live
When buying a home, base your decision on how you live and
not where you will live. Sure, a house that offers dramatic
views and large windows can seem like a nice place to call
home. However, if you are often out during the day, this may
not be your only priority. Focus instead on indoor features that
will please you. One good example is the kitchen which is the
busiest part of the home. A sleek, minimalist European
stainless steel breakfast bar may seem really attractive, but if
you have young children, a spacious practical kitchen with
sturdy smudge-resistant cabinetry may be a better option.
