Establish Your Priorities
Before a I can begin to help you look for a Boston, MA home, you should develop a list of needs and wants. For some buyers, the home itself is of paramount importance: they want a particular style or size. For others, the neighborhood is more important. If you have an unlimited budget you may be able to find the perfect home in a perfect neighborhood, but since most buyers need to meet a budget, you may have to compromise on either the house or the neighborhood.
Schools Matter – Even If You Don’t Have Kids
If you have children or are planning to have a family in the future, buying a home in a community with good schools is already likely to be a priority. Even if you don’t have children to educate, though, you should be aware that homes located in a good school district typically hold onto their value better than those in less highly regarded districts. The Fair Housing Act prevents a Boston Real Estate Agent from providing information directly to buyers about specific schools, but I can share links to websites that rate schools and to local school systems.
Transportation Issues
A major consideration for most home buyers when it comes to choosing where to live is how they’ll get to the places they go regularly. Map out your route to work and other frequented places to ensure the commute is doable for you.
How to Compare Neighborhoods
It’s important to visit a prospective neighborhood at various times of day and on both weekdays and weekends to get a feel for what it would be like to live there. Look at how the homes are maintained to see if they meet your standards. Finding the right neighborhood takes some legwork, but it’s important to choose a place to live where you want to come home every night.
