Real Estate January 25th, 2010
Buying a home is always be with some considerations. One significant consideration is the location.
Each person must want to stay home as a place to live until old age. In order for the house can be used continuously and can provide comfort, so in looking for a house have to be really careful and thorough.
Thorough in looking for a home does not mean only for the physical aspects such as determining specifications house. However, it also means carefully considering the non-physical aspects, such as adjusting the budget to the desired house.
After the plan and provide the budget and determine the type of house, the next step is to determine the location of the house. This is an important step which includes the non-physical considerations when buying a house. Appropriate locations to provide convenience for you to inhabit your home and make it easier when going to sell the house later.
Close Tol More Valuable
By the developer, usually considered the location of the house used as a “weapon” to market a house. This can be seen in a brochure handed out bid by the developer when selling new homes. In each brochure, the developers must not forget to write the words that tone is optimistic that the house has to offer close to various facilities, such as “easily accessible location. Only 5 minutes from the toll booths “. Although the sentence is not the same order, almost all developers to write sentences that essentially offers the home with the lure of an easily accessible location.
Location of housing, particularly new housing, usually located far from the city center. For example, new homes around Greater Jakarta, generally located far from the central city like Jakarta. However, this distance facilitated by connecting the quick access and practical such as toll roads, so as to facilitate the citizens to get to that location. Therefore, the location of housing close to the highway has a greater appeal to consumers, because it means that housing is more accessible.

Never Far from the Workplace
The location of the home has value to consumers, either to live alone, leased, or for investment. Therefore the buyer must consider the location carefully before deciding to buy a house. The reason is most likely buyers will use the house for long periods. This is different from the tenants who generally temporary and can be moved at any time. For that, this location has to be seen whether or not easily accessible.
In addition, the location of the house should not be too far from your workplace. Can imagine if your house long distance, how long do you need each day to go home from home to your workplace? Distances will also increase your financial expenditure for fuel consumption when driving a private vehicle.
For tenants, the location of the source function associated with comfort. This may illustrate why many people choose to rent an apartment in the middle of the city, although he was financially able to buy a house but in the suburbs. In fact, many people choose to rent a house in town and rented his own house in another area.
If you buy a house for investment, consideration of location is not important. The choice of location can determine the outcome of profit can be achieved. For instance, in some locations, rising land and house prices in some areas higher than in other regions. Of course there are other factors that cause price increases in addition to the favorable location, such as general economic conditions and the rate of population increase.
Since ancient Roman times, the house was also used as a means for investment. In order to get the right location, you should spend adequate time to search. Berpikiranlah open to see the types of dream homes in several locations before narrowing the search to a specific location. During the search, you may see dozens or even hundreds of housing units on the market.
Use this as an opportunity to find options. Seller’s asking price does not always reflect the value of a house. But usually, the house with good value sell faster. While the hard sell homes often offered at a price too high.
Social conditions
Having determined the location and check the physical condition of the house, you should also know the social environment in the location of the house you choose. Do not until you’ll buy a house in a location that makes you feel safe and comfortable because the environment is not “healthy”. Instead, you need to check the overall environment and not rely solely on the home location information from ads, promotional brochures, or agent.
How do I check? You can revisit the home environment you seek on different days and different times. If currently visiting in the afternoon, the next you visit again at night. Knock some prospective neighbors and ask them about the condition of the surrounding social environment. If you are renting, it’s good talk to the tenant. Because no long-term interests in the area, tenants will provide information more openly.
Even if you already know the environmental conditions and decided to buy a house in the area, make sure you also look at other options that house in the area. If you allocate USD 200 million for a house, see the house that offered more expensive around him. Who knows you just need to spend a little more to get the facilities much higher value.
