Step 4 of 48 Phase 1: Visualize Home Ownership
1.4 Where You Imagine Moving
Consider potential locations for your new home based on your needs and preferences.
Key Questions to Consider
- Do you want to stay in your current area?
- What is your maximum commute time?
- Are schools important to you?
- Do you prefer urban, suburban, or rural?
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not researching the actual commute during rush hour before committing to an area
- Ignoring school district quality even if you do not have kids - it affects resale value
- Choosing a location based solely on home price without considering quality of life
- Not visiting the area at night or on weekends to get a full picture
