Now that you’ve made the decision to move from one home to another, it’s time to decide where you want to move to. While you search the internet and look at potential homes, you must first decide what type of neighborhood you want to live in and the location. You may ask yourself “do we enjoy the area we are currently in or do we want to pursue a different area?”
Pinpoint Your Wants
Before you start looking at homes, sit down and make a list of what you want in a new neighborhood. You should consider the price point of the house but don’t stop there. Think of the small things that make your life even better like sidewalks or access to a pool.
Valuing the View
When you start looking at homes, take the view in- do you like what you see, is it something to you look at everyday? Do the neighbors maintain their home? Are other homes in the neighborhood upkept well? Are there a lot of for rent signs along your drive?
Commute and Convenience
When you are deciding where to live consider your time spent outside of the home. How long will it take you to get to and from work or to drop your kids off at their school. Close proximity to your most frequented locations will give you more time to enjoy your new house and less time in the car.
Basic Coverage
Look up the crime rates in the various locations you are considering moving to. Review your family’s collective personality. When it comes to your lifestyle, think about the local points of interest that will be close to you.
Future Focused
What does your future hold? It may not be easy to predict but if you are already considering changing jobs, having children or changing school are they within the proximity of your new home?
Save time and heartache by considering all of these points before you buy your next home. With a little research and planning your home will be in a central location of all of your favorite activities.
