Elysia Allen - THE HOME BUYERS GUIDE

Some pet owners choose wood or other hard flooring, not wanting to risk pet damage or odors. An appropriate-sized fenced backyard is on the “needs” list for many pet-owning house buyers. Consider the arrangement of rooms and the structure of the house to ensure it is suitable for your pets, too. Traffic in the area could be another checklist item. Pet services, such as veterinary, grooming, and exercising, should be conveniently nearby.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

When it comes to location, keeping an open mind is your most valuable asset. Location is so important that people are willing to give up “must- have” features to buy into their desired neighbourhood — 72% would forget about a pool, 55% would lose a finished basement, and 33% would accept less square footage. In addition to location, good schools, shopping amenities, commuting and transportation all matter. What is important is how much do each of these factors matter to you. Do practical research. Drive through the area and see what stores, activities, and features 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 house, it is important to consider the location and how far it is from schools, shopping areas, and other facilities. Home means comfort, and comfort can not come if the location isn’t suitable.
