The 2026 Home Vision Exercise (Yes, This Early)
They dream, research, visualize, and prepare. But when it comes to real estate, it’s often the opposite: stressful, rushed, and reactive.
Let’s change that.
If you’re even thinking about a move in 2026, whether it’s buying your first place or upgrading to a home that finally fits, it’s not too early to start planning.
In fact, this is the perfect time to begin Step 1 of the From Chaos to Calm™ method: Clarity.
Why Vision Comes First
Before budgeting.
Before browsing.
Before packing…
You need a vision. Because a move that’s aligned with your lifestyle doesn’t start with square footage, it begins with self-awareness.
When you’re clear on what you want your next chapter to feel like, the rest gets easier: the timeline, the location, the trade-offs, the layout.
The 2026 Home Vision Exercise
Here’s a simple 10-minute exercise I walk my clients through:
1. Picture a regular weekday in your future home.
What do your mornings look like? Your evenings? Who’s around you?
How do you want to feel as you move through your space?
2. Name your top 3 values for this next chapter.
Examples: connection, calm, creativity, family time, career focus, flexibility.
Which ones should your home support?
3. Identify the friction in your current space.
What’s not working? What’s missing? What do you find yourself avoiding or wishing for?
4. Name your non-negotiables.
This could be a second bathroom, home office space, walkability, a backyard, or even just sunlight. (Yes, light matters.)
5. Reframe the move.
Instead of “buying a house” or “selling because we have to,” try this: “I’m creating a space that fits my life, where I can thrive.”
Clarity Before the Market Noise
You don’t need to tour a single property or sign anything yet. But you do deserve a roadmap built around you, your family, your routines, and your goals.
When you take time for this work early, it’s not just a move. It’s momentum.
