Top Influences in Selecting a Home

So what is important to buyers when they are looking for a home?  Location, convenience to job, affordability and many other worthy neighborhood factors.

A house could be the perfect fit for a buyer but the neighborhood is just as important.  According to the National Association of Realtors buyer and seller survey taken 64% of individuals cited neighborhood as one of the most important factors.  Additional attributes that were deemed important were:
  • Convenience to jobs:  50%  of these buyers ~ 78% said that the cost of transportation was very important
  • Overall affordability of homes : 43%  your real estate agent can inform you of price appreciation trends in order to give you an idea of how solid your investment is or will be.,  
  • Convenience to family and Friends: 37% ~ with time and money being limited people prefer to live near the places they frequent as well as have access to public transportation.
  • Quality of the school district 26% ~ local school districts that are recognized for their excellence add value to the surrounding neighborhoods and are an important selling point for homes on the market.
