The Eye of the Beholder....what is important to you?

Value, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What do you consider value????? In your home? In a new home????

Some would say it starts with the neighborhood....is it safe, is it a place where when you drive on to your street, you have a sense of....I'm home??? Is it a place you can walk and greet your neighbors and enjoy the surrounding's as well as get some exercise??? Could it be the design/feel of the community and inclusion of common areas or parks and other amenities???

Perhaps it then goes to the home you live in....is it attractive from the street??? Are there enough bedrooms??? Is there enough storage???? Does the kitchen work well for your family and lifestyle??? Is the floor plan right for your family? Does it feel like "home"???

Could it be how much effort goes in to the home and it's upkeep??? How energy efficient the home requires to be run (how much it cost to heat/cool or run)???? Maybe it is how confident you are in the construction and "what's behind the walls"???

Some may say it is the price...and price alone...of the home. Nothing else matters.

Which best describes your definition of value???? Is it more.....than price alone???
