Do some Driveby's!

Do some Drivebys  ⇒ ⇒ ⇒  

Many would-be homeowners only visit their potential new home right after work or on a Sunday afternoon and make a quick decision about the house and neighborhood. However, there is a better way to investigate a home.

You should take some time to visit the home early in the morning, late at night, and at various times on the weekend. Take note of everything you see. Keep an eye out for the following items:

• Children playing in the yard
• People working on projects outside
• The number of cars parked on the street
• The level of noise
• Are people congregating at a particular home or place

All of these things can give you a feel for the neighborhood and indicate if this is a good fit for you and your needs.
