4 Little Known Questions To Ask Yourself Before Deciding Where You Should Live

You might not always have the luxury of being able to decide which city and state you live in because of a job, however, if you are able to decide, there are a few questions you should ask yourself before making the decision. This includes what type of weather you prefer, as well as what state laws you most relate to. However, there are quite a few questions that most people don't consider, but probably should no matter how irrelevant they may seem. Here are four little known questions to ask yourself:

  1. What's Your Biggest Fear? Heights, spiders, crowds? Whatever you most fear should have a factor in where you decide to live. Obviously, if you have a fear of heights, you might not want to live in an area that has many bridges you need to cross to get around or mountains, especially ones with steep inclines and small, windy roads. Also, if you have a fear of crowds, then obviously big city areas are not for you, either. 
  2. How do You Like to Relax? Living in an area where you can easily participate in activities that you love is going to be great for your quality of life. Do you like to fish? Then living in an area with many fishing areas is definitely something to consider. If you like to surf, then you obviously want to live near the beach. Definitely consider these things because it can have a high effect on the quality of your life. 
  3. How do You Want to Spend Your Weekends? This is similar to the previous question. However, since the weekends are generally spent being a bit more active, you might want to consider how you want to spend them in this way. Do you want to go into town for some shopping? Then consider choosing an area that is not so secluded to some of the best shopping areas. Do you want to spend your weekends with your family? Then this is going to have an affect on how far you can travel because you need to stay closer to where your family lives. 
  4. What Kind of Neighbors do you Want? Do you not want neighbors? Then a place where you can buy large property that doesn't have neighbors for miles is ideal. On the other hand, if you don't mind neighbors, you just want to consider what type of people you might be living around. Living in the country, for example, might lead to neighbors with very different ideals than living in big city areas. Which do you most align with? 

Whatever area you choose, it's definitely a good idea to consider purchasing a new home for sale in the area. This is going to help you maximize your experience in this completely new stage in your life. New homes are generally designed to be near all the best qualities of the area in which you choose with neighborhoods that have a focus on the quality of life people want to live here. 

About Me

Real Estate Tips from a New Homeowner

While some people "wing it" when purchasing their first home, I went about the process differently. I put a lot of research into home market trends before even deciding where I would like my new home to be located and learned about all of the steps of the buying process. Once I was ready to start looking at homes, I hired a real estate agent who was very impressed with all the knowledge I had accumulated about the home-buying process before I even owned my first home! I love learning, so I actually greatly enjoyed learning all about real estate, and I am still keeping on top of the latest real estate news and trends since I know they will come in handy when I decide to upgrade into a larger home in the future. I decided to help others by sharing what I have learned on a blog!
