searching for a new home.
Location is so important that people are willing to give up “must- have” features to buy into their desired neighborhood — 72% would give up square footage, 55% would lose a finished basement, and 33% would accept a small garage. What matters most is living in a safe place with good schools. According to CREA 69% would drive through the neighborhood during different times of day to determine if the neighborhood was the right fit. You can’t go shopping for a home without choosing a location where you’d like to live. Probably the most significant decision when buying a home is where it is. Location influences your everyday life. Your property does not exist in a bubble; it’s part of a bigger community. It’s important to find a community that suits your needs. Do you want the Newer Home/newer community that is a little further from downtown or the energy of inner city and mature trees? Do research before starting your search. Drive through the area and see if all the stores, activities, and features you want are there. Eat at local restaurants and walk through a nearby park. As price is mainly based on location and condition of the property, when someone starts looking for their home or condo, it’s important to consider your lifestyle and how your live. Home means comfort, and comfort can’t come if the location isn’t suitable.
