Determine Your Buy Box

Your dream vacation home is yours. It’s not what some Instagram guru says it should be, or what your Uncle Bob told you would make a “smart” investment. Only you can decide the type of vacation home that’s right for you.

That’s why we started by visualizing it: location, vibe, style, lifestyle. If you haven’t done the Sticky Note Exercise yet, take a few minutes to do it now. Capture your wishlist on the Vacation Home Vision template—this will make the next step a breeze.

Once your vision is clear, it’s time to put some numbers behind it.

Use your Vacation Home Vision template to create your Buy Box. This quick cheatsheet will help you determine which parameters to select when searching your online real estate marketplace of choice (i.e. Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, etc.).
