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!
