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

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