Sign into your account6 Game Changing Neighborhood Traits That Buyers Are Looking For
May 21 2015
According to the National Association of Realtors, the average buyer looks at 10 properties throughout a 10-week span before finally making a purchasing decision. Your job as a real estate professional is to simplify this process by finding and showing them properties that meet all of their requirements.
But helping your clients find the home of their dreams will require more than just showing properties that include all the amenities they are looking for. What really makes a difference is the neighborhood that comes with it. Here are six game changing neighborhood traits that buyers look for prior to purchasing a home.
1. Convenience of Public Transportation
Having easy access to public transportation, while often overlooked, can be a huge plus in the eyes of soon-to-be homeowners. This is especially true for those who live in urban areas where any commute can turn into a nightmare. Ask your clients if they'd prefer to be centrally located near a public transportation line and it will help narrow down the scope of your search.
2. High Walk Scores
A Walk Score is the rating that a neighborhood receives based on its walkability. Some of the determinants of this score include: pedestrian design; types of streets, parks and public spaces; income level and a defined neighborhood center. High Walk Scores are strong indications of a good quality neighborhood, so it would be smart to share this score with clients who are considering moving to a particular area.
