Location should be homebuyers‘ priority If you asked most people contemplatâ€" ing the purchase of their first home to prioritize their needs and wants, most would probably give you a fairly extenâ€" sive description of the amenities they would ideally like their home to contain â€" such as an eatâ€"in kitchen, two baths, famâ€" ily room, and so on. But how many would actually put "location" at the very top of their list? Experienced homebuyers recognize this as a number one priority. And any real estate professional will tell you that the three most important things to consider when purchasing a home are: "location, location, location!" After all, you may fall in love with a house because of its charm and other attributes, but if the location is all wrong, how much of a sacrifice are you, and your family, willing to make? wHAT TYPE OF BUYER ARE YoU? Before you even begin to focus on a particular neighborhood that interests you, it‘s important to decide what type of buyer you are. If you‘re like a large majority of conâ€" sumers, you‘re a familyâ€"oriented buyer and need to take the needs and wants of your entire family into consideration when choosing a location. As a parent, you‘re undoubtedly willâ€" ing to forfeit many of your own personal preferences in a home to make sure you end up in a safe neighborhood, close to schools and recreational areas â€" and far gh away from any industrial or comâ€" ... about home _ ownership today mercial areas where traffic and noise might pose a problem. You may also want to make sure there are other families in the area who have children so that your own youngsters will be able to make new friends and won‘t have to travel far to visit them. In addition, you may want to look for a neighborhood that offers libraries, hosâ€" pitals, and other important services nearâ€" by. OTHER PRIORITIES If you don‘t have family concerns, you may be interested in being located close to amenities that blend in more with your particular lifestyle.For instance, you may prefer a certain type or period of architecture and may only want to live in older sections of a particular city or town. Or if you‘re a culture buff, you may want to live closer to section of your city or town that offer theatres, art galleries, boutiques, and so on (usually the city core).If public transit if your only mode of transportation or if you work in an area where parking isn‘t practical, then living close to a transit line will probably be a major concern to you.
