3 Scariest Things About Owning a Home

Owning a home is both one of the most frightening and one of the greatest adventures in life. We talked to three Wisconsin homeowners and asked them, “What’s the scariest part, and what’s the best part of homeownership?”

“I’m worried about becoming a pack rat. With all the extra space and storage, it’s just so easy to say, ‘Oh, we’ll throw it in the garage,’ or ‘We’ll throw it in the basement.’”

“On the other hand, the extra space is probably my favorite thing about owning a home. And not just the storage space. Now I’ve got room for my sewing and my crafts, and my husband has his workbench. Plus, all the added space if perfect for our growing family. And you can’t forget how nice it is finally having a backyard!”

“I don’t know if scariest is the right word, but one of the most daunting things about owning a home is keeping up with maintenance. It can be a challenge to learn about what needs to get done on a regular basis to keep my home in great shape. I guess the challenge makes it a little fun, too.”

“The best thing about owning a home is knowing you’re paying toward something. If you buy within your means, then every payment is an investment. Compared to when we used to rent and every payment was just an expense. It’s a pretty good feeling knowing that.”

“The scariest thing about home ownership for me is definitely the things outside of my control: fires, floods, tornadoes, alien invasions, you name it.”

“The absolute greatest thing about being a homeowner is the freedom to do whatever you want. Whether that’s changing the colors or doing some landscaping, the buck stops with you. That sort of independence to live the way you want, in the space that you want, is what turns a house into a home.”

Sure, owning a home can be a rollercoaster, but finding the right home is worth it. To find a place to call your own, start by checking out our model homes. And to learn what being a homeowner really means, call a Bielinski Homes expert at (262) 542-9494.
 
  • When we rightsized from our home of 43 years to a Bielinski Condo in Bay Pointe, our New Home Consultant answered all of our questions and communicated with us the entire way. We’re fully enjoying our beautiful new home and the condo community.

  • I’ve been so impressed and completely satisfied with the entire Bielinski building experience. From the initial sale and throughout the construction process I have appreciated Bielinski’s professionalism, craftsmanship, and follow-through.

  • We are extremely happy with our new Bielinski Condo. It’s well-built and full of all the features we wanted in our home.
    Deborah and Brian Blackney
  • We chose Bielinski because they are a family-owned business and have been building in the Pewaukee area for a long time. The Clemont floor plan is just perfect for all of our family events and Packer parties.
    Bob and Darla Landgren
  • We couldn’t be happier with our new home! The entire process was fantastic. Everyone was so responsive and quick to help. Bielinski’s knowledge of the industry was invaluable. We recommend Bielinski to anyone looking for their next home.
    Mike and Kristin Smith
  • We had a really good experience with Bielinski from start to finish. Everyone was responsive and reliable. Now we are enjoying life in our new home.
    Peter Holzwart and Therese Gaynor-Holzwart
  • Once I got settled in, I knew I was exactly where I belong. Without Bielinski’s knowledge and communication, I would still be questioning whether I should build at all. Thanks to the entire team that made this all possible.

  • We have just purchased our third Bielinski Home in the last 22 years, a Bielinski condo. We have found that Bielinski Homes builds quality homes for fair prices. The craftsmanship of construction and finishing is exceptional, plus they make the buying and building process easy with great customer experience. We would strongly recommend a Bielinski Home.
    Jerald and Jeanne Filut
  • We absolutely loved working with Bielinski Homes — the kindness and knowledge they shared sold us on wanting to move to our new neighborhood. We were worried about moving. But we had no doubts in our minds after speaking with our New Home Consultant about the community and the neighbors. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and new neighborhood.
