Remember \u201creal estate rule #1&#8243;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s the first rule of real estate? Location, location, location! Remember, you can always change up the inside of your home, but you can&#8217;t change (in most cases) the size of your yard, the proximity to amenities, or your neighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Learn everything you can about the neighbourhood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s all too easy to fall in love with a specific home. But before you buy, find out as much as you can about the neighbourhood. Consider the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>How far is it to work? Can you easily walk, drive or take public transit?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Are there parks, recreational facilities and libraries nearby?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Are hospitals, doctors and dentists easy to access?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>How do municipal taxes compare with similar communities?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>How close and convenient are schools? Ask about student performance and extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>How close and convenient are shops, restaurants, theatres, banks and other services?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Are property values increasing, decreasing or stagnant?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Think about your return on investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s always a good idea to keep the resale value of your home at the back of your mind. If you&#8217;re looking for a starter home that you might sell within a few years, for instance, it may be best to invest in a modest home in the best neighbourhood you can afford. An expensive home in a modest neighbourhood may appreciate less and be harder to sell. (See #1 above.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Keep in mind, your tastes and priorities are unique to you and your family. As you think about the perfect neighbourhood to call home, start with what&#8217;s most important to you and look for communities that match those needs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
