What Type Of House Should You Buy?

You should buy a ranch, the classic and sprawling style of the '50s and '60s. As it is usually a single story, that means that you get a lot of land with it--and big, open spaces. You'll enjoy the outdoors and the multiple views a ranch can give you, as well as its quiet sense of welcoming.

You should buy a colonial, with its big, impressive, yet refined look. Colonials fit your love of tradition and family, offering a distinctly defined kitchen, living room, and dining room. The colonial's multiple and expansive levels will allow you to separate into distinctly defined rooms.

You should by a European-style home, which is classic, impressive, and long lasting. You love the look of stone, towering windows, and massive fireplaces. All of these lend a feeling of refinement, intelligence, and class. It's also a lot easier for your kids to pretend they live in a castle!

You should buy a Victorian house, which is stately, elegant, and refined. It is a lovely mixture of impressive bay windows, gabled roofs, and handsome brick, along with old-fashioned luxuries, like a fireplace in every room. Just be careful--there might be a ghost living in yours!

You should buy a cottage, which is cute, quaint, and rustic, perfect for the quiet, lovely life you prefer. A cottage has just enough room for everything you need: books, TV, bed, decorations, perhaps a cat or dog--without any unnecessary showing off. Often, a cottage will be part of the landscape and you'll be surrounded by natural beauty.

You should buy a modern home, which offers everything you need for your modern lifestyle. State-of-the-art technology, wide-open spaces, and creative design all characterize this house. You are elegant and high class to the extreme, and you look forward to the future rather than to the past.
