Setting Home Goals
January 4, 2009
Whether you have a new or older home, circumstances change and our lives continually evolve. Whether it is an updated kitchen, the addition of a room or needed repairs, writing goals is the way to achieve your vision.
Planning short, mid and long-term goals will help you create a plan for reaching your home goals.
Short-term Goals: (90 days)
- Example: Your kitchen is looking dated and it needs a facelift.
- Goal: Paint the kitchen and add new hardware to the cabinets by month’s end.
Mid-term Goals: (3-18 months)
- Example: Your family is growing and your current home is feeling a little cramped.
- Goal: Add a bedroom to your home or purchase a larger home by the end of next year.
Long-term Goals: (18 months - out)
- Example: You are financially secure and would like to spend more time on vacation.
- Goal: Purchase a cabin in the mountains within 5 years.
The key to staying happy in your home is to make sure that it changes as you do. Writing goals for your home provides a vision for future needs. Once you have written down what you want, you can work on accomplishing each goal!
