It's All About Logistics.....a Hidden Gem on Any Home For Sale

A hidden gem on a Gainesville home for sale is lifestyle logistics.  The details of any home for sale in Gainesville are shown in the detailed MLS displays.  Buyers can easily sort through details such as lot size, square footage, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, the age of a home.  But our MLS database doesn’t answer a couple of important questions for buyers that relate to their lifestyle.

  • How far is the home from where I will work?
  • What schools are designated for this home?
  • Where is the nearest grocery store?

It’s all about LOGISTICS!   

Hidden Gem on Homes For Sale In GainesvilleSome buyers want to buy a home in a specific school zone.  I’ve had home buyers come visit Gainesville from out of state.   Before they get here, they have done their research on our local schools.  Many have told me that they want a home in a neighborhood that falls within a certain designated school.   Home buyers do their homework about our local schools, but don’t know how the zones apply to the area.  As Realtors, we have to know which schools apply to each neighborhood.  

Another important LOGISTICS question is, how long will it take me to drive to work?  When I show homes, it’s great information to share about drive time to where they will be working. Not that there is a huge traffic issue in Gainesville, travel time to work can be important to busy families.  

The moms and dads will also want to know where the nearest shopping is located too.  You know that moms want to know how quickly they can pickup the kids from school, get them to soccer practice and swing by the grocery store on the way home.   It’s all about a family’s lifestyle logistics!

The location of a home is important to a buyer’s lifestyle logistics.  The perfect scenario is to find the best home that matches meets their wish list AND fit's well into their lifestyle logitistics!  That’s an important hidden gem to a buyer on a home for sale in Gainesville.

Christine- you're right. Some buyers might be willing to give on certain things about the house if it meets their logistics requirement.
