You’ve probably heard the phrase “location, location, location” right? It’s one of the oldest rules in real estate, and for a good reason, it’s the one thing about a home you can’t change. So, aside from the obvious reasons, why is considering location so important when buying a home?
Hi, I’m Tanja Odzak, eXp Realty. I love helping people. I’m a Senior Level Realtor and I help people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay!
Choosing the right location is at least as important as finding the perfect house and here’s how location can have a big impact on three things: lifestyle, home value and long-term happiness.
First, Lifestyle . . . Think about your daily routine. Is the neighborhood close to work, good schools, shopping, the gym or parks? The right location makes life easier and more enjoyable.
Second, a great location helps protect your home’s value over time. Even if the house needs updates, the right neighborhood will keep its appeal to future buyers. Remember those great schools you wanted? Turns out other Buyers have the same priority as well! That also goes with access to freeways, shopping, restaurants, etc. Your home’s value is held strong by these aspects that are important to many people.
And finally, your long-term happiness: The home you love might not feel perfect if it’s in an area that doesn’t suit your needs. What about commute times? If you have to drive an extra hour or two every day, each way, you will not be as happy as getting home in 30 minutes or less. A shorter commute can save you time, money, and stress. And what about being close to family? If you need to care for elderly parents, maybe babysit grandchildren, then being in the right location will make everyone’s life a little easier.
Finally, do you feel a sense of community and safety? Maybe you’re a golfer or tennis player? Pickleball anyone? These are all important factors to consider for your long-term happiness!
