Evaluate Possible
Locations & Communities
Now that you have an idea of your budget, it’s time to consider where you would like to live. If you are simply looking to up or down-size, this might be as simple as looking around the corner or down the street, but most of the time it’s more involved than this. You might be moving across town or even across the country, and you will want to decide where the best possible community is for you and your family.
Fortunately there are many online tools available to help you. With websites offering everything from home listings to school and crime statistics, you can do some preliminary research to help you identify some possible options. You can also contact an agent and ask for their insight into what type of home and where would best suit your needs. Of course, unless you’re already familiar with the area, you’ll need to see the neighborhoods in person, but you should be able to narrow the search by spending a little time online and speaking to an agent.
