How Important is the Neighbourhood?
When shopping for a new home, how important should the neighbourhood be in your decision making process?
More important than most people know. You will haveto live with your neighbourhood for a very long time once you've committed to purchasing a property.
To be sure you have the information you need, here are some helpful tips for evaluating your new neighbourhood:
1. Check into crime statistics for the area with the local policed department, as well as checking with the community newspaper. You want to know you'll be safe in your new home.
2. Take into consideration the prospect of re-sale later on. what may seem like an incredibly good deal now, may mean a difficult re-sale in a few years if the market for that area is declining in value.
3. Check out in advance any changes that may be in the works to the neighbourhood. You don't want to find out that a freeway will be going through your front yard once you've already purchased. Talk to city hall for pending assessments or other changes.
4. Don't forget if you have children, or plan on having children, to check into the school system. What's their record like? Are they close enough? Is it what you want for your child's education?
