We all know the mantra of real estate: location, location, location. The neighborhood is usually the most critical factor in determining a home's value. When you begin your Bahamas home search, you should create a list of criteria for the neighborhood in which you want to live, work, and play.
Ask yourself questions like how long is the commute to your workplace? Is an urban setting or a rural area more suited to your lifestyle?
How convenient is it to get to shopping centres, churches, schools? Even if you don't have or plan to have children, the quality of the school district is another significant factor that determines the home's future value, which will be important when the time comes to resell your house.
If you find that you're priced out of the Bahamas neighborhood you really love, try to locate fixer-uppers in the area. They may need work, yes, but you'll get your foot in the door, so to speak, and can expect your property value to rise along with the other neighborhood properties and your improvements and repairs.
