The 8 Most Important Rules in House Hunting
Want to know what the number one rule is when home shopping? Well, many details must be considered in choosing your next home – style, size, price, location. It’s probably impossible to say which factor is most important, but one thing is certain: if you will be moving again in a few years, be sure you buy with selling in mind. Chances are, the items that make your new home a comfortable fit for you will also attract buyers later on.
Some special considerations for the short-term homeowner who has resale in mind:
- Watch for growth potential.
Look for an established neighborhood that will be enhanced by future growth but not inconvenienced by it.
- Look out for resale value.
Seek a prime neighborhood where houses sell well in any market.
- Check out location.
Consider availability of all aspects of transportation; even those you may not use.
- Schools are important.
Check for public and separate schools, whether or not you have school-age children.
- Green is good.
Look carefully at the landscaping, or at least the potential to enhance the landscaping.
- Make room for visitors.
See if ample guest parking is available for you and your visitors.
- Privacy is a plus.
Consider how much privacy the house and lot provide.
- Drive the commute before you buy.
Check morning and afternoon drive time to work, schools, shopping, churches
