Today, I write to describe for potential home buyers some easy ideas, to practically implement to find your new home.
1 Monitor your favoured suburb. It might be near your friends and family, or good schools, shops and transport Ideally all of the above. Ask your network ! I expect one can be suprized at the help your network might offer. Of course you still have to make the decisions!
2 First, check out the local shopping centre. Is it vibrant with activity and new shops opening? This represents small businesses choosing your area to expand and invest into. Particularly, the lifestyle shops, like coffee shops, gyms, leisure centers, restaurants, new franchise shops, ideally a whole new shopping centre. The big supermarkets expand only after careful research on the growth opportunity.
3 Interview, some of these shop keepers, are they busy, enthuseastic, expanding and renovating their shops.
4 Reserch via the local councils and state governments. They plan new transport links, shopping precints and capital works many years ahead.
5 Are the local schools expanding and building new rooms? The “quality ” of local schools is consistently one of the highest factors. both in USA and Australia in suburb selection.
6 Check out the latest valuations data of local home prices, usually over the internet via valuation sites like domain. com realestate.com realestateview.com
7 Check out the suburb over view on Google earth. It will give a great overview, you might even find some excellent no through secret pockets.
8 Drive through the suburb many times at different times and days of the week to check traffic flows, neighbours.
9 My personal favourite is to actually walk, your favoured selected streets. I have often found the ideal renovator with this method.
10 If one has the TIME, one might rent in the suburb for a period to get to know the detail of the area: like late night trucks, noisy industry woking at night, traffic flows and shift workers.
