A home wish list that leaves room for real life

Separate essentials, preferences and possibilities before your next home search.

AI-generated palm casita home concept; not an active listing

Write the reason beside the requirement

Instead of simply listing an extra room, explain what you need it to do. A workspace, a place for visitors or room for a hobby may lead you to consider several different layouts.

Sort the list into three parts

Keep essentials, preferences and possibilities separate. Essentials are the needs you cannot easily work around. Preferences make a home more appealing. Possibilities are features you are open to exploring.

Include the everyday details

Think about storage, access to outdoor space, how you use the kitchen, and the amount of upkeep you want. Small practical details can be easy to overlook in a photo-led search.

Let the list evolve

After a few visits, you may find that one priority matters less and another matters more. Update the list and share what you are learning with Korri. The goal is a useful conversation, not a perfect checklist.
