There many
things you need to keep in mind when buying a home. Choosing a desirable neighborhood
and the number of bedrooms are two very important things followed by resale
considerations. When looking at your needs, budget and personal tastes come
into play to decide if you want a new
home or one that requires some work like a "fixer-upper." If the area you are considering has a lot of
seniors, consider purchasing a home with no stairs like a rancher. While
house-hunting, it's a good idea to make notes about and take photos of what you
see because viewing several houses at a time can be confusing.
What to consider when buying a home in Nanaimo
If you are
thinking about buying a condo, it makes sense to spend a bit more and get a two
bedroom unit because a one-bedroom condo is far more difficult to resell. You
may also want to consider how high strata fees are, ability to rent out unit
and if pets are allowed. On the other
hand, 2 bedroom homes are very hard to sell and have very little appreciation
potential. Most people want at least three bedrooms. Homes with a
well-maintained, attractive, and charming view-from-the-street appearance have
good resale potential. You can protect your investment by not buying a
different or unique home to allow for broader appeal to more potential buyers.
