Finding the perfect home at the price.

There are a number of things that need to be considered when buying a home in southeast Michigan. Location is one important factor.  What makes one location more desirable than another? Aside from an intangible feeling about a place, there are a number of qualities that set some neighborhoods apart, such as:

  • Schools with high academic standards.
  • Desirable homes.
  • Public parks and recreation areas 
  • Proximity to good shopping.
  • Public facilities like community centers.
  • Cultural, Entertainment, and Sporting Venues.
  • Places of Worship. 
  • Proximity to place of employment.
  • Proximity to nature, like lakes, rivers, and forest.

Southeast Michigan including Brighton, Hartland, Highland, Fenton, Lake Fenton, Grand Blanc, Linden, and Swartz Creek among others has an abundance of all of these things. 

Doing thorough neigborhood research is critical if you truly want your home to fit your needs. Here are some basic strategies:

Call City Hall

You may like an area now, but you could feel differently if a football stadium or six-lane highway will be your future neighbor. Check with local officials on the zoning of neighborhoods and the likelihood of any substantial public projects. Large projects such as major road construction are planned years in advance.

Resale Potential

Though appreciation can be an impossible thing to predict, it's good to at least try to determine a home's resale potential. Slow selling homes may just be a function of the current market, but they could also indicate problems (or perceived problems) with the neighborhood that could affect resale. Check for any information on new industries or companies moving to the area in the future that could lead to housing demand later.

Do the Footwork

Probably the most important step in researching neighborhoods is to get a first-hand look. Talk to residents, visit local schools, businesses, and parks, and get to know your way around. If you plan on using public transportation, see what options are available. Be sure to visit the neighborhood at several different times of day. Three quick ways to scope out a neighborhood:

  • Eat at local restaurants (non-chains) to get a feel for the people.
  • Attend a community meeting.
  • Read the community newspaper for at least a week.

In the end your impression of a neighborhood will largely be an emotional reaction. By researching the facts and future of a given neighborhood, you'll ensure that your hunches are well informed.
