Connie Taylor, real‑estate specialist with The Connie Taylor Group in Amarillo, stresses that selecting essential features early aligns purchases with both immediate needs and long‑term goals. In a recent HelloNation article, Taylor urges buyers to list must‑haves—bedroom and bathroom counts, layout, and key amenities—before starting the search. She advises determining absolute necessities based on household size, future growth, and lifestyle preferences, which streamlines the hunt.

    Taylor discusses the trade‑off between single‑story and multi‑story homes, weighing accessibility against space. She notes that urban locations offer convenience and shorter commutes but usually come with higher prices and smaller footprints, while suburban areas provide larger homes, quieter streets, and good schools—ideal for families or those seeking tranquility.

    The article highlights the importance of layout: open plans favor entertaining, whereas traditional designs offer privacy and defined spaces. Buyers should also inspect core utilities—plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and internet—since outdated systems can diminish living quality.

    Future adaptability is another key factor. Taylor recommends evaluating how a home can accommodate changes such as expanding families, aging parents, or remote work, ensuring long‑term suitability.
