Location doesn’t mean the same as it did fifty years ago; a lot has changed even in the past decade.
Scott Mackey, Principal of RE/MAX Precision, says “if you are looking at purchasing an investment property or even a new home for yourself, you need to think of what might constitute a desirable property in the future years. Although one person’s needs may not necessarily be the same as the next, these are a few of the most popular must-have’s we come across.
1. We are in an age of being ‘connected’, where technology allows people to work and play more these days from home, internet access and speed is a top 3 question. This has become more of a priority than say distance from work.
2. In our region particularly, distance to the various beaches, rivers or parks may be a location must-have and have time and time again proven worth in the long term. Exercise in parks has become a priority as we start seeing lot sizes reduce and park recreation replace backyards.
3. For families, distance to a certain school may be one of the deal makers. We all know school drop off and pick-up can be a nightmare, so being on the way to work and passing your children’s school and after school activities is a big benefit. It also provides better time management for a those busy 2-income families, which is far more prevalent than a decade before.
4. Coffee! Being a short walk or drive to good coffee is a surprising must for many. Being close to amenities such as local shopping outlets, dining experiences, cafes and gyms are often highly sought after as people want to live closer to the things they like best.
Keep this in consideration: people do value time. The time taken to commute and access lifestyle choices will remain a decisive aspect for buyers choosing a home.
The team at RE/MAX Precision knows what makes them tick. When you list with us, we use all the location features of your property to leverage a great price.
