After writing your dreams and wishes, your list of must-haves comes next.

Give yourself the gift of time to create the lists. You can enjoy that time whenever a new idea comes to you, whether it’s in the middle of the day or in the middle of watching NCIS on television.

Builders of up-scale homes say a state-of-the-art kitchen, walk-in closets and whirlpool tubs rank as the three most-coveted elements Americans over age 25 want in their dream homes. The survey of builders was made by market-research firm GFK Roper.

Your own list will be a lot longer as your customize it according to how your family lives. Fortunately, most of your needs today can be met by an existing home, and many of your wishes can be fulfilled at the same time.

A dream home doesn’t have to be a palace, but with home prices at their current levels, dreamers have the opportunity to buy more than they could in earlier times.

A few things parents may want to include in their list:

* A separate laundry room.

* A mud room with a half bath attached for washing up.

* Extra storage space for toys and sports equipment.

* Large kitchen with space for family dining.

* Fenced yard to keep small kids and big dogs contained.

No home will have them all, but many will have other amenities you will like even better.

If you’re a baby boomer or beyond, that home could be your reward for a lifetime of work service to others.
