Sizing up your new neighbourhood

Buying a home can be a confusing and even overwhelming experience. One of the best ways to take the mystery out of the process is with good information. When you’re looking for the right home, your success can often depend on knowing what questions to ask – not just about a prospective property, but also about the surrounding community. Here are some questions that can help you size up a neighbourhood before you decide to make an offer on a property:

• What other homes in my price range are currently listed for sale in this community?
• How affordable is this housing compared with other nearby markets?
• Where are schools and other amenities located?
• What age groups are predominant in the community?
• What is the average household income of the residents?
• What is the level of education of the residents?
• What is the employment rate or future job prospects in the community?
• Where can I find more specialized information about this community?

These questions can help you to develop an in-depth community profile. But now that you know what the questions are, where do you go to find the answers?
