Things to Look for When Choosing a House
Travel Time
You want your commute to work to be as easy and efficient as possible. This helps you start and end your day on a high note! Find a home with a reasonable travel time in relation to your occupation location.
Year Built
What year was this house built? Has it been updated? When was it remodeled? How will this effect any future updates/additions you may want to make? Will things need to be replaced soon after moving in? These are all questions you should be asking when looking at a home.
Parking
Be sure to think ahead when it comes to parking. You may think you have enough now, but remember - the older your family gets, the more cars there will be in the driveway.
Nearby Schools
This is huge! you want to make sure you live within the bounds of the best schools in the area. Giving your child access to the best education possible is a priority. Make sure to gather information or talk to the right resources, to help ensure that the nearby schools will meet all of your children's needs.
Neighborhood
Make sure you feel safe and comfortable in the neighborhood. A safe yard space for kids and animals to play, a sense of community and your neighbors can serve as a very special and important characteristic in a home. Peace of mind about the area and a welcoming community are amazing features!
