TWEENER homes—let’s talk about them. They’re usually not like the “ideal home” or the one that has everything you want or need. It’s an in-between or TWEENER home.
We’ve personally lived in 4 tweener homes.
Did they have 4 walls and a roof? Yes.
Did they serve our family at each stage of our life? Yes.
Did they have everything we wanted? No.
Did they help us purchase the following homes? Yes.
Hey home buyers, a tweener home, one that fits your current needs but isn’t your dream home, has several benefits. Here’s our simplified breakdown:
➖Affordability: A tweener home is usually more budget-friendly than your “dream” home, which can be a huge advantage when you’re not ready financially for a bigger investment.
➖Flexibility: This kind of home can be a good middle ground if you’re in a transition phase, like changing jobs or growing your family, and aren’t sure what your long-term needs will be.
➖Investment opportunity: Buying a tweener home can be a smart investment. You can potentially sell it for a profit later or rent it out, especially if you choose a home in a growing area.
➖Less pressure: Since it’s not your forever home, there’s less stress to find the perfect place. You can compromise on features that might be dealbreakers in a dream home search.
➖Learning experience: Living in a tweener home can help you figure out what you really want in a home, guiding your decisions for future purchases.
➖Lower maintenance: Often, tweener homes are smaller or less luxurious
