When buying a home on Lake Nacimiento, buyers will ask what are the most important factors to look at in the Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home. And, in my years of experience as a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent; I always guide them with five main aspects of a home that stand out to me.
We all know that buying a home is a major decision, and even more so if you’re investing in a vacation home. Finding an ideal space that you know you’ll enjoy for years to come is important and should be carefully considered before taking the plunge. Below are five of the key aspects you’ll want to look at when viewing various homes in Oak Shores and Heritage Ranch.
1. Layout and Space– Know your goals for the home, whether it’s a long term home or a home that you’ll use for hosting family and friends for vacations. Floor plan, along with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, play a role in how comfortable and efficient your home is for you. Although you want the most space for your money, buying a home that’s too large may not be in your best interest.
2. Location & Views– It’s often said that location is key, and that’s very true! You can always make changes to the interior and exterior of your home, making it look exactly as you would like, but you cannot move your home to a new location. Be sure that the location you choose matches your desires for things such beach access, amenities and community. Also consider the views from the homes that you tour. If you want to be able to sit out on your porch, or enjoy the views from your living room, this will be on the top of your list. A home that’s a good price, but is in a less than ideal environment may not be the home for you.
3. Kitchen– For many, the kitchen is the “heart of the home” so you want to know you enjoy the space! Remodeling is always an option, but is a huge undertaking and can become very costly.
4. Closets and Storage– Those vacationing on Lake Nacimiento will often need extra storage for activities such as fishing, water skiing, boating, etc… so be sure the home you’re viewing has adequate storage.
5. Finishes– Look at those special details that make the home stand out. While this is minor, it is still what makes a home feel pulled together. If you absolutely love the home, but aren’t keen on the finishes; buy it. You can always make additional updates later!
I hope these tips helps you hone in your ideas for a home as you begin your Lake Nacimiento home search. If you’re still searching for a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent to help guide you through the home buying process; please feel free to contact me today!
