You swoon at the curb appeal and your heart flutters at the sight of the kitchen counter-tops, but is the home you’re looking at buying really The One? Prior to making an offer, be sure you love these, hard-to-change items about your potential new place.
Items you Should Love Regarding your Home Prior to Committing
1. Square footage
Too small and you will probably quickly outgrow the new space. Too big can often mean unnecessary energy bills and money spent furnishing space you will never use. Aim for “just right.”
2. Drive time
Be certain your day-to-day commute won’t leave you sitting in traffic, rethinking your relationship with your house. Consider driving to work from your potential home a few times during rush hour to ensure that you know what you’re getting into.
3. Walkability
Having the capability to stroll to shops, restaurants, parks and public transportation can really improve your quality of life. When it is important to you, check out your potential home’s official walkability score at www.walkscore.com.
4. Community
Does the neighborhood include features which you feel are essential to your particular lifestyle, like yoga studios, late night takeout options or a safe playground for your kids (or pups)?
5. Planes, trains and automobiles
For those who travel frequently, be sure you love how close your potential new home is to the airport, main highways or public transportation. Not a fan of planes flying overhead – or late night trains? Always remember that when scoping out areas as well.
If you are motivated by these areas of the house, it might really be true love. Make an offer and with luck, you could live happily ever after. Working with an experienced agents like Nick & Cindy Davis with RE/MAX Premier Group can certainly help.
