Moving during a Pandemic... Should you? Can you?  The fact is that even during this time of COVID-19 there will be times when people need housing. ~They may find themselves changing jobs and needing to move to another area. ~They may find themselves needing to move closer to family to help care for loved ones. ~They may find their family growing and needing a larger space. ~They may find that it is time to downsize and make use of their financial investment.

Selling & Buying: Making the move at the same time Many people these days have to think very carefully about their plan if they need to sell a home and purchase another one due to a move to a new area or their existing home becoming too small for their family or maybe their existing home becomes too large or impractical for them. Regardless of the reason, people find themselves needing to sell their current home and purchase another one every day. There are many factors and options to be considered as you go through this process. Each transaction is completely separate. The Sale of your current home is a separate Transaction from the Purchase of your new home.

What is the one thing Realtors ® tell their buyers to consider above all other things? We've all heard it: "Location, Location, LOCATION". Deciding on and finding the perfect location for you can be difficult, especially if you are moving to a new area you are not familiar with.  In this blog series I will be highlighting many of the neighborhoods in the areas I serve. I will try to answer some basic questions:   * Where is the neighborhood?  * Is there an HOA? If so how much does it cost?  * Link to the HOA if available - which can provide information on schools, size, restrictions, etc.  I will also start to link the list of blog posts here in this blog. That way you can always come back to this post to find what neighborhoods have been featured.
