Choosing Your New Home

When you are touring prospective vacation homes, it is critical to distinguish between a home’s “skin” and its “bones.” The “bones” are the aspects of the home that cannot be changed – location, lot size, physical configuration, and other fixed features.

The “skin” of the house, on the other hand, represents superficial qualities like furnishings, carpet and paint color, wallpaper, landscaping and window coverings. While the skin can be readily changed, it is beneficial to your budget to keep in mind the related costs.

In evaluating your prospective new vacation home, it is more important to evaluate bones than skin of the house, because skin can be changed to suit your particular needs and tastes. Along these same lines, don’t get too taken with house’s decor if you only plan to use it a few weeks per year. We can help you see the bones through the skin.
