When the city is growing...

                  

Years ago, you might have been able to keep up at pace with all the new development, but today's market is changing neighbourhoods. If you are in the market of buying a home, you likely are unfamiliar with neighbourhood demographics.

Your realtor can give you an overview of the neighbourhood, telling you about nearby amenities and a general feel for the demographic of the area. For example, you may be looking for more mature residents to be the majority, or alternatively, more young families.

You may want a condo complex with only a few tenants, or you may be looking for the exact opposite with a neighbourhood known for auxiliary apartments and renters.

The realtor will also make you aware of upcoming zoning changes or new construction of highways or housing that may affect the enjoyment of your home and the resale value.

The fast pace market brings some new challenges. Using an expert is your best bet in overcoming these new challenges.
