Finding the right home can be overwhelming, but a structured approach can simplify your decision. Use our Home Matrix to list and prioritize your needs, focusing on key features and the all-important "golden triangle" of school, work, and social proximity. Compare your top choices and gain clarity in your house-hunting journey.

  1. Identify your needs:

  • List the features you want in your home.

  • Note your deal breakers.

  • Consider what you're willing to compromise on, For example: for a family of four, having at least three bedrooms might be essential.

2. Create Your Home Matrix with your top priorities and rate each property on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the least, 5 being the most).

3. Focus on the "Golden Triangle": When evaluating homes, consider their position relative to key areas:

  • School: Is it close to good schools?

  • Work: How far is the commute?

  • Social: Are there amenities and social activities nearby?

  • Finding a balance between these three can significantly impact your daily life.
