There is no doubt that the Melbourne / Space Coast real estate market is a gorgeous place to invest. However, you may be putting off buying a home due to finances, expecting to be in a better position in just a few years. But that may not be the best move for you.

Rather than burning hundreds or even thousands of dollars every month on rent, you are probably better off purchasing a small house. It can be all yours, regardless of its size. Want to paint the kitchen, no problem. Want to change the fence in the front yard, no one will stop you.

You can begin by talking to a banker about qualifying for a home mortgage. Then you will know exactly what you can afford when searching the market for various homes for sale in Melbourne / Space Coast. Then your monthly payments will go towards your own property, rather than simply paying a lease.

There are a number of benefits to purchasing a smaller sized home in the Sunshine State, whether it is a house, an apartment, a townhouse, or a condo. Think of how much money you can save on your air conditioning bill every month over the humid summers by moving into a smaller property. You can also save on your electric and utility bills when you live in a petite home. When the time comes to upgrade, it is much cheaper to sell a smaller sized home than it is a large one, as millennials are just beginning to buy their own homes.

When you live in a moderately sized home, you can still get extremely creative with the overall design. There are plenty of smart techniques that allow homeowners to make their living space look and feel larger without sacrificing any style. For instance, the use of area rugs can help to separate different areas of a room, such as the bed and a desk. Painting the walls two different colors can make a small room feel like two separate rooms, which is a wonderful trick for two siblings sharing space.

You can paint a wall behind a dining room table to make it feel separate from a living room, even if they are in the same general vicinity. Then top it off by placing unique placemats and a unique centerpiece. You can have fun changing them every time a new guest comes over, whether it is your parents, your friends, or your nephews.

Another tip is to utilize vertical space. Depend on shelves that start on the floor and stretch up to the ceiling. If you can’t reach the top shelf, simply use it for artwork, even if you need a ladder to put everything in place. In fact, the higher a piece of art is placed, the more people’s eyes are attracted up. This small trick is extremely effective is making a living space feel larger than it really is. Even painting the ceiling works to make a room in any Melbourne / Space Coast luxury home appear larger to the human eye.
