Why location matters when buying a home

Why location matters when buying a home

When purchasing a home, especially in a community like the Boise Idaho area, its important to remember three things...location, location, location. The term "local neighborhood" is defined by wikipedia as a geographically localized community within a larger city, town or suburb. Neighborhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members. This may sound trivial when looking to purchase a home in Idaho, but it’s more important than you think.

Home location matters to your lifestyle.

One of the great aspects of living in Boise is the opportunity to spend most of it outdoors. Boise and the surrounding area is home to some of the best climbing, fishing, hunting, biking, and skiing in the Pacific Northwest. Depending on your everyday lifestyle, choosing a home near Boise’s urban downtown district might be a consideration as well. No matter what your lifestyle you will want to consider your next Boise home not only an investment, but a home that fits your lifestyle and everyday needs.

Location matters for resale

It’s true that home values and future equity is greatly affected by the location of the home. For example if your home if you purchased your home in Surprise Valley subdivision or Columbia Village, you probably haven't felt the negative effects of the recent decline in home values. These areas are so desirable that home values have held relatively strong in these areas. The same is true if you purchased a home in say Charter Point Subdivision. While the homes are adequate, so many of them were purchased by investors who didn’t know hat they were doing and so the values have plummeted. So when looking for Boise real estate it’s important to remember that location matters and even more important the need for a qualified Boise real estate agent is essential.

Location matters for your real estate agent.

Is your real estate agent positioned to know the markets and areas that will bring you the most value on your investment? If there is anything that is critical to the success of your next Idaho home purchase it’s a qualified agent who is positioned with a firm of top producing agents. There are far too many agents who have good intentions to provide you with the best of services, but are not connected to the type of real estate network that will ensure your get the home and location that best suits you and your family. Be sure to seek the professional advice and guidance of a well positioned real estate agent.
