Amy and Chris are considering buying a new house, but they’re cautious about the budget and practicality. Amy is inspired by Matt’s progress on his dream house and feels it’s time for her and Chris to find their ideal home before retirement. Their current house is nice, but Amy wants more space and amenities, including a master bedroom on the main level and a three-car garage.
As they tour a potential new home, Amy is impressed by the master bedroom on the main level, a six-car garage, a shop, and the expansive 10,000 square feet of living space. Initially unaware of the house’s size, Amy feels it might be too large for their needs. The property, with its beautiful view and ample space, intrigues them as a potential venue for weddings, offering income opportunities.
Despite its appeal, Amy is concerned about the maintenance required for the extensive landscaping. Chris, however, sees potential in the property, drawing on his entrepreneurial spirit and past business experiences. He believes they could manage the property without being entirely dependent on wedding income.
The tour reveals features like a big entryway, a remodeled kitchen, and a spacious master bedroom. Amy and Chris discuss the possibility of moving in immediately and making minor updates. They appreciate the property’s location, only 13 minutes from their current home.
Chris is excited about the property’s potential, while Amy remains realistic, considering the workload and financial implications. They plan to discuss their options further and continue looking at other homes.
As they explore the backyard and other amenities, they ponder the feasibility of hosting events to cover expenses. Amy is cautious about the commitment required, while Chris is more optimistic, envisioning new business opportunities.
Throughout the process, Amy and Chris are learning to make major decisions together, balancing their dreams with practical considerations. They hope to find a home that suits their needs without overburdening themselves as they approach retirement.
