So you have finally received the keys to your new home and now comes the task of making the space your own. Before you start opening cans of paint there are a few decor myths that you should be aware of. 

Buying a house during the time of Covid-19 has modified the way we look at buying a house. It can be a strange and oftentimes confusing process in general but things are different now. Most people are used to spending a couple Saturday and Sunday’s driving from house to house to see what each property looks like up close. Now open houses and tours of homes can be virtually and with little or no contact with anyone. With the internet you can look at an array of homes from your own kitchen table. While you can use these tools to narrow down a search, if you find a home you really like then it may be possible to reach out to the real estate agent for a personal look either virtually or in person with proper precautions taken. With the market being as up and down as it is you also have to be quite alert and on top of things to have a chance to buy your "dream home".

Buying a home, especially with inflation rates as high as they are, can be a large expense that we often don't take as seriously as we possibly can. Certain expenditures are a given when it comes to a new home including insurance, property taxes and energy bills. Keeping a budget is important so that you don’t fall into an unfortunate situation by spending money unnecessarily.
