In the world of real estate, the mantra “location, location, location” is thrown around a lot -- and for good reason. Regardless of how fantastic your home is, if you live in a dangerous or otherwise undesirable neighborhood, there is going to be a limit on the amount of value you can get out of your home. Bottom line, before buying a home, you want to make sure it’s in an area where home values are on the rise, as opposed to an area where home values are stagnating or declining.

Often, buyers come to us talking about great locations that they simply can’t afford. Our solution to them is to consider moving on the border between two neighborhoods. Doing this, you may be able to enjoy all the benefits of a desirable neighborhood without having to pay the high price of actually living in it.

Most people look at homes during the day. However, once you find a neighborhood and a home that you love, we highly suggest checking out the neighborhood at night. If you’re going to make a huge investment in a home, you want to make sure the neighborhood is as desirable at night as it is during the daytime hours. You don’t want to accidentally purchase a home on a street with a ton of loud bars on it and not be able to do anything about it!
