Location, location, location
For years location was the buzzword in the real estate market. Today, more than
ever, location is an important consideration. How do you know where to start looking? What if your favorite neighborhood is out of your price range? A good way to start looking is to drive around. Find a few neighborhoods that you are interested in. Make note of community services you may want to be close to: schools, shops, and churches. Determine how far from work each place is. If a neighborhood is far from amenities and adds significant time to your commute, you have to decide if the location is worth the extra drive time and gas costs.
If you have your heart set on one neighborhood but can’t find an affordable or available house there, think about why you like the area. Is it the schools? The style of homes? The size of the lots? Make a list of the attractive features and start asking around for similar neighborhoods. A good realtor will be able to make suggestions, as well. You may be surprised and find an area that you like even more!
