6 Factors that makes a Home a Good
Home
Location!
As they say, location is “King” and location is definitely a key factor in what makes a
home a good investment.
A home in a good location generally means a more sought after home, and better
chances of a good resale value, as well as less chance of a fall in property value in a
declining market.

School District!
A good school district means an area where housing demand is higher and an area
where property values are higher.
Whether you have school aged children or not, (even if you never intend on having
school aged children), a neighborhood with good schools is one of the key factors in
what makes up a good neighborhood.

Lot!
Believe it or not, there are some lots that just aren’t good sellers.
It is not just the shape of the lot; it is how the home is situated on the lot, as
well.
For instance, if the home is situated to where the next door neighbors can
see into the home, or you can see into theirs, then privacy is compromised.
Crime!
The crime rate in a neighborhood is definitely a factor in a good
neighborhood. A neighborhood with a low crime rate means less risk of
being a potential victim.
Here, check with the local police station, or jump on the net to research the
area’s crime rate.

Walkability!
Walkable neighborhoods are definitely in, and walkable neighborhoods can add
thousands to property values.
Neighborhoods with community amenities like grocery stores, boutiques and
entertainment within walking distance add value to a neighborhood.
Neighborhood
Don’t purchase a home without walking the neighborhood at all times of the day and
night. Take a good look at the homes, the neighbors and the cars and what the
neighborhood is like and feels like at different times of the day and night.

Home
Stop and chat with neighbors who may be out in their yard or walking the
neighborhood to help to get a better feel for the neighborhood, as well as its
inhabitants.

The neighborhood should be one that is relaxed and feels safe and isn’t
bombarded by odd occurrences.
With the right elements, you will have the right home!
