Don't buy the RIGHT Home in the WRONG Location

Location ~ Location ~ Location

I am pretty sure you all have heard this Real Estate quote many times before. You can redecorate, rebuild, relandscape, perhaps even modify certain aspects of a home's location, but you can't change where a home is located.  (unless you move the house!)

At a minimum, make sure to avoid locations that involve high noise levels, unsavory elements, traffic, pollution, crime, poorly kept homes and decreasing property values.

Instead, look in areas where homes are appreciating and close to major employment, great schools, transportation, shopping, entertainment, restaurants and parks and other recreation areas.

Also remember, that a home priced low due to its location will sell low due to location later on when you try to sell it.

How true!! I just had this discussion on Friday with a client who wants to purchase 11 acres. He said "the price is so reasonable." I reminded him it's within 1/4 mile of a firing range and thus the price. He doesn't mind as it's the  acreage he's looking for. I told him when he goes to sell, the next buyer will definitely mind the firing range and it will impact not only his ability to sell, but the value he can ask for the home. He said he'll deal with that when the time comes. So - what do you do - you can lead a horse to water, so they say, but.... Hopefully, by the time he sells, I'll be retired!! Always enJOY your posts! Be well!

:)  Thanks Gary. . . I'm with you - there have been several times when a clients doesn't listen to me and I just think "I hope I am retired when they resell!"  We can suggest, but we can't make them listen!
