Sander Scott argues that the perfect property doesn't exist because every home requires trade-offs between price, location, size, and condition. Once you accept this, you can stop chasing an impossible ideal and instead find what actually matches your priorities.
Almost everyone begins the search the same way. They're looking for the perfect property. I've become convinced that the search for the perfect property is really a search for a property without meaningful trade-offs. Sooner or later, every buyer discovers the same thing. The perfect property never shows up. And that's not bad news. It's actually the beginning of making better property decisions. It fails to appear because every property makes a different trade-off.
