Hi, Corey Feldman with the Feldman Group at RLAH.
(00:00:03):
Now,
(00:00:03):
when you're buying a piece of property,
(00:00:05):
whether it's a house,
(00:00:06):
a townhouse,
(00:00:07):
a condo,
(00:00:08):
it doesn't matter.
(00:00:09):
You're not just buying real estate, you're buying into a community.
(00:00:14):
So it's really important that you understand the community in which you're about to
(00:00:19):
put a substantial amount of your resources.
(00:00:22):
And of course,
(00:00:23):
the condition of the property you might be buying is of paramount importance,
(00:00:27):
but the condition of your neighborhood also matters.
(00:00:31):
Take a look at the homes around you.
(00:00:33):
Are they investing in the neighborhood?
(00:00:34):
Are they taking care of their properties?
(00:00:38):
Is there an HOA and are they maintaining the communal space?
(00:00:43):
Are you on a side street or main road?
(00:00:46):
How much traffic is there going by?
(00:00:49):
Are there any local businesses walking distance?
(00:00:52):
In front of me I've got a Mormon church and behind me I do have a fantastic garden center.
(00:00:59):
Is your kids school walkable or are they going to be waiting for the bus?
(00:01:03):
Wayside is certainly walking distance for me but without sidewalks it's not practical.
(00:01:09):
What's the feel of the neighborhood?
(00:01:11):
Is it green enough for you?
(00:01:14):
If you are on a side street are there walking paths to larger neighborhoods?
(00:01:18):
At the end of the day you can't truly have the right house if it's the wrong neighborhood for you.
