Finding a suburb to suit your active lifestyle
Apart from natural beauty and at least a few active offerings nearby, the perception these buyers have of crime in the area will play a vital role in deciding whether they’ll place an offer.
Location no doubt plays a huge role in any purchasing decision. Whether you’re a parent seeking a home in your preferred school district, or a business mogul looking for a suburb close to your office, each buyer will have their own set of location preferences.
Buyers are not wrong in enquiring about the safety of the suburb, especially if they’re planning on being active outside of their homes.
Buyers who enjoy outdoor activities should speak to a real estate agent and find out whether people in that suburb are generally quite active. This can give you an indication of how safe residents feel in that area.
Beyond this, the more active the suburb, the better the opportunity that there will be local groups which homeowners could join to lower the risk of becoming a victim of crime.
