Finding the Right Home for You
We'll help you find the perfect VA or WV home!
You’ve certainly heard the real estate mantra—the most important thing to consider when buying a home is “location, location, and location.” Ask yourself “Is it better to buy the worst home in the best location and remodel OR buy the best house in the worst location and regret it later?”
The local real estate experts at Old Dominion Realty will help you locate and purchase the right home in the right location for you. Types of locations for you to consider are:
- Top-Rated School Districts: Ideal for home buyers with children (or those planning to have children).
- Near Recreation & Nature Areas: Homes hold their value and are attractive because of settings.
- Homes with a View: Great views equal a great location.
- Near Entertainment & Shopping: Perfect for homeowners whose social life is of the utmost importance.
- Near Public Transportation & Employment: Locations that lessen travel and commute times are more desirable.
Once you’ve outlined your wants and needs for a location, drive through your targeted communities at various times during the day. Viewing areas at different times provides you a clear picture about the personality of your potential new neighborhood.
