All the Feels:The Emotional Side of Buying a Home
It’s easy to consider the many clinical
aspects of the property ladder,
construction sector and real estate
world: their cycles, price points
and nuances. But buried inside this
analytical framework is a much more
elusive element and that’s emotion –
the deepest form of that being love.
Why do people love different types of
homes, certain neighborhoods or property
features? Isle Crawford, a renowned
designer, teacher and creator, in one of her
book’s entitled Home Is Where the Heart Is,
wrote: “what do we all want? We can look
around and see what’s new but today what’s
really radical is to look inside of ourselves as
we search for a home.”
So, what’s wanted and what’s not? Depending
on your age, means and history of purchasing,
this might be totally different. Although there
is no scientific consensus on the definition
of emotions, invariably their presence is
felt constantly when a property purchase
is made. I’ve been party to the full gamut of
emotions associated with property purchase,
from elated highs and lows on auction day,
to tantrums at missing out in a negotiation
situation and tears of joy at securing that
house of which dreams are made. As a sales
consultant, you will meet up with young
parents looking to capture school zones for
the future whilst they’re hopefully enjoying
great space in the present and older parents
stepping up to provide financial assistance for
grown children who need additional support.
Needless to say, the emotions governing
both these decisions are different; one being
anticipation and excitement, the other
being a little less excited and definitely more
measured.
How about emotional factors that precede
locational purchases, like being near the
water, having a view of the city or mountains,
or ownership in prestigious areas. Some
emotions pull so strongly and are so
recognizable that there are articles written
on how to counter them. These are an easy
find online and one such article had this to
say: “[because] it’s a major financial decision
home-buying requires a business minded
approach.” It was an article submitted on
behalf of a banking institution and it had dire
warnings for first-home buyers in particular

to prioritize matters of the head over the
heart, and I don’t necessarily disagree. It’s
expensive and heartbreaking when you get it
wrong and deeply gratifying when you get that
combination of lifestyle needs and budget
requirements right.
That’s emotionally fulfilling and probably
a goal of everyone looking for just the right
home.
Personally, I can’t help being emotional when
I’m purchasing property. I tend to be an open
book and despite being told by people who
have known me for a long time not to be, I still
have a heart bigger than my head. Just as well
John levels the scales! To everyone currently
purchasing, here’s to finding the sweet spot
of a property that makes sense financially but
delivers emotionally – because they are out
there.
