How To Choose Your New Home's Location
It's Not Just The Home, It's Where It's At That CountsWhen you're searching for your next home, remember: Where a home sits is as important as the home itself. Location. Location. Location. It will determine how well you live in your home and how much you'll be able to sell it for when the time comes. Have you found a neighborhood you're interested in? Before going any further, you (and your buyer's agent, if you have one) should focus on how well the neighborhood is located. Location, of course, has a lot to do with what's nearby and what the future might bring to the area. Here are some important questions to consider.
If you've driven through a neighborhood that interests you, get to know it better by returning at different times of the day and week. You'll get a feel for the local lifestyle and how the neighbors relate to one another and their homes. For an even better preview, park your car and walk. It's amazing what you'll learn by speaking with passers-by and observing day-to-day life up close. Note the kinds of homes in the area, how people maintain them and how well they watch after their children, pets and belongings. Then if you're still interested, give us a call.
