The House is not the only consideration when buying real estate

A house is only part of the search when we are relocating. Almost anything about the structure can be changed, but the area is a different story.  When we buy a house, we are buying a community as well.  Here are a few of the things I think we should be looking at when buying a new house.

The street;  do you like the block the house is on?  Are there many units for sale on this street? What does that say?

Transportation;  how important is transportation to job, shopping, schools and parks to you? 

Shopping;  What kind of stores are nearby?  Take a look before you buy.

Parks;  Another great area we sometimes overlook.  Take a look below of a park that is nearby to me but I just never got around to enjoy untill recently.

Blue Heron Park

Happy house hunting.

It is true that the buyer has many concerns and needs.  It is up to the agent to find them out and satisfy them as soon as you can.

Such great points.  This is why we like to mention what is around the home (near by areas, attractions, etc.) on our website and in our listing packets in the home.  I think that these are very important points.
