With Match Day approaching, you’re likely uncertain about how you’ll know you’ve found the right house in your new city. With the stress of starting your residency sitting on your shoulders, the last thing you want to worry about is your living situation. Here are seven ways to know you’ve found the right house.
1) You love the house as soon as you step foot inside.
Within seconds of entering the house, you’ll know whether it feels warm and comforting or cold and foreign. Does it feel like home? Well then, it probably is.
2) You start to think about furniture arrangements.
If you walk into the living room and start imagining your couch, coffee table, and end tables laid out, this might be the house for you. If you can’t imagine your furniture in the space, move on to the next house.
3) You can see yourself painting the walls.
If the walls are painted a color you don’t particularly love, you might start daydreaming about new paint colors you could potentially use. It’s a great sign if you can imagine yourself customizing the house to fit your style.
4) The house matches up with your basic needs.
The house might not hit every single bullet point on your list, but if it meets the basic requirements and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, that’s a great sign.
5) You want to stop looking.
If none of the other homes on your list appeal to you any longer, you might have found “the one”. If they all pale in comparison, it sounds like you’ve found the right house.
