The line between a want a need can often blur. To be able to differentiate wants from needs when buying a home, it's important to understand how each are defined.

A need is something you can't do without and are unwilling to compromise. As an example, you may need three bedrooms to accommodate all of the members of your family. Needs could include things such as parking, school district, location, electricity, air-conditioning, and more.

A want is an optional feature that would be nice to have but isn't a deal breaker. You may want a pool that you can cool off in on a hot summer day, but you could also live without a pool. Wants could include things such as flooring, paint color, landscaping, storage space, floor plan, modern fixtures, and more.
