A big question- 2 BHK or 3 BHK? You and your spouse decided to make that big move in your life, buying a home of your dream? Did you? Wow.Congratulations! But here are the various thoughts that pop up while you take the subsequent steps forward. The first and foremost is do we need a 2BHK or a 3BHK?
And you are on the fence always. Then you convince yourselves saying, the bigger the better isn’t it? Is it going to be that simple? You know that one mistake you guys make, then you are stuck with a floor and ceiling which you regret every day and night. Being a realtor I have come across hundreds of such confused young and even seasoned home buyers not able to make the right decisions at the right time. (Of course, I have assisted them to decide, that’s a different topic for another day) but below are my thoughts on this one critical question, should we settle for a 2 or a 3 bedroom home?
Understanding the Floor plans:
The builders are very smart in positioning their floor plans such as ‘a not so great
layout plan ends up having a great view, an extra space which supposed to go to a
the common area is squeezed into a layout as a study or a small room, that’s why you
get these 2.5 BHKs oftentimes.
Floor plans for a 2 bed start at 900 square feet these days and stop at 1100 square
feet in most of the cases, if it is between 1100-1250 then it would be a 2.5BHK.
Anything upwards from here and until maybe around 1950 sqft you have a 3 or
3.5BHK. Look once more and check if this space is going to be too much or not
enough?
The Minimalist Life
If you are that millennial who doesn’t believe in materialistic things, maybe a compact
2 bedrooms might be your best choice. You can do a fabulous clean interior to cut
through any unwanted storage and have a piece of sleek furniture to make a small
home look unbelievably bigger at the same time beautiful! Ask yourself do you or your
partner fall under this category? Or let us say at least shortly want to become
minimalistic? If yes, then go on choose the smallest of all.
Work From Home
Working from home is the new normal today! A few of my IT friends were saying that
this WFH trend is a real one and companies may even look at a hybrid model. Whether
we like it or not this pandemic has changed the way we work for good! You may
definitely need an extra space here, in this case, a private home office one for you and
another for your partner, or at least a larger one that accommodates both of your
workloads.
BTW: Here’s is what saving my back every day while I work from home which I highly
recommend for your back (if you want it too long last:)

Double Income Delayed Kid
Okay, now we are talking:) In most of our households, the pressure from our parents
and extended family is to have a kid as early as possible (assuming you guys got off
married recently), If you are someone who believes in a career first approach, lots of
travel, freedom, fun etc and you both have decided to put off that thought for some
more years, then ask what’s the best choice here, are we planning for a kid in maybe
2-3 years from now? Is it possible to upgrade the house that time around assuming
did you buy a 2 bed today? Hmmm…Lots of items on the plate here to think about:)
Life with Kid(s)
The bundle of joy also comes with serious sweet troubles. Such as tons of baby clothes
to wash, dry, and repeat infinite times. Believe me, I am a father of two! Never
underestimate their short clothes, you would be surprised in no time it takes over the
entire HIS and HER wardrobe space combined. And then endless friends, family visits
happen at times unannounced. And where are you going to store all that toys? And did
I mention the swinging horse my kid’s favorite here which is a piece of furniture by
itself?
The Budget
Of course, how can we not talk about it after all? The hard truth is the amount of fuel
is the distance we can travel, isn’t it? If you have enough budget to afford a spacious
3BHK and yet settling for a 2 bed that’s a different thought. But you can’t stress your
pocket and mind to pull off something even if your situation compels you to do that. If
it’s a must and should try settling for a pocket-friendly budget flat for time being and
upgrade later on. If not go for it but compromise on the location but you can’t have it
both wise. But let it not suppress you from taking action, go for it but tread cautiously.
Enter with an Exit in Mind Always
There are many types of builders in the market, popularly categorized as Grade A, B &
C. Grade A being the top quality builders who worked their way to the top by delivering
homes on time, with quality every time even before RERA and always seen along the
Prime locations
standing tall with pride. It’s a no-brainer choosing a Grade A which at a later stage
maybe you won’t face an uphill task to sell it back in the market. When it comes to all
other categories of builders, the entry might be the easier one but not when you want
to exit. So choose carefully, take calculated risks.
Conclusion:
Considering various facts listed here, In my experience, I have seen buyers wanting a
2BHK but settled for a larger home at the end always. This pandemic has changed the
way we live at our times. People need larger homes, extra room, and much larger open
areas in a secured society. I understand all this comes at a cost but I believe this is the
ask in the market today, my recommendations are with the asks of the people. Cheers!
