Buying a Luxury Home
Shopping for a luxury home? Be sure you know what you’re getting into. To maintain their exclusivity and protect land values, many upscale neighborhoods often are controlled by strict covenants – which means that homeowners must abide by the covenant rules whether they agree with them or not. Be sure and seek home buying advice from a real estate professional familiar with the neighborhood who can assist you in making the most informed decision.
Before you make the purchase, learn as much as you can about your new luxury neighborhood and the surrounding area. Follow these tips:
• Talk to potential neighbors. Ask how they like living in the area. Find out about problems they may have encountered with various rules or covenants. Don’t forget to ask what they like most about the neighborhood.
• Investigate the demographic makeup of the neighborhood. Your real estate professional should be able to help. Make sure the neighborhood’s demographics fit with what you are looking for in a community.
• Be sure and put your hands on a copy of the homeowner’s association rules, regulations, and guidelines. Some associations are strict, dictating things like home color, how many cars can be parked in your driveway, and more. These rules tend to be more prevalent in upscale neighborhoods, where most luxury homes are found, but not necessarily.
• Check into local zoning laws. This is important so you know for sure whether your home will be protected from development nearby – a new supermarket or commercial office development. Your luxury home will maintain its best value in a neighborhood that has strict regulations on commercial growth.
In short, gather as much information as possible about your neighborhood. This will help you quickly adjust to your new surroundings as you move in and become a productive member of your new community.
