Buyer’s Guide – Things to Consider Outside the House Itself

Many think that when it comes to buying a home, the house is the only factor that matters; however, there are a few things to consider when buying a home. We share some insights for potential homebuyers to consider when looking for that dream home.

Public Transportation – Do you own a car? Do you need access to public transit? This may be important to consider when looking at your potential house. Is it within walking distance? How long will it take to get from home to work? Unless you don’t need public transit, this is something that may make or break a decision.

Family-Friendly Attractions – Most people who looking to buy a home are either seeking to upgrade their existing home or because their family is expanding. Consider when you are buying a home what kind of family necessities you will need. How far or close are the schools? Parks? Community centres? Is your dream home in a community that has other families or not?

Traffic and Roads – Will your new home be on a busy street or road? How loud is the traffic? If you have a young family, you don’t want a home that is necessarily on a busy road or that will be loud. Consider the neighbourhood and the traffic.

Safety – Some neighbourhoods naturally have a reputation; therefore, it is important to consider how safety the area is. This is information that can be found on a simple neighbourhood website.

While in a perfect world it would be nice to take our dream home and move it to where we want, that isn’t the case. It is for this reason it is important to consider the location and the surrounding area of the house of interest. Maybe the neighbourhood isn’t perfect but the house is – don’t feel discouraged, there will be another home for you!
