Personalized Customizations For Your Energy-Efficient “Forever Home” Whether you’re looking to build a home or buy one, realtors always recommend that homeowners not make too many personalized customizations to their home, simply because those customizations may hurt their home’s resale value if they ever decide to sell it in the future. It’s understandable why realtors recommend this to homeowners but when you’re in the market for your “forever home,” those recommendations can go out the window.
A forever home is a home that you plan to settle in with no intention of moving from. This form of permanent settling is also called “aging in place.” When building you forever home, the customizations you have done are not only for you in current times but those customizations should also be beneficial to you as you grow older as well.
For example, one great way people commonly customize their homes for aging in place is widening doorways and hallways for the potential later use of wheelchairs. People also install light dimmers, built-in shower seating, handrails in the shower and near the toilet, and many functionality features.
But what if you’re someone who’s environmentally-conscious and want to customize yours forever home? This desire to create an energy-efficient forever home is a customization that will impact you your entire lifetime, and for the better. You can feel good in knowing
