Tip 13

Will I fit in the area?

The ethnic factor:  if your area has a strong multi-cultural presence, this might be an attraction for newly arrived immigrants in search of a house.  The feeling of wanting to feel “at home” is a strong motivator.  You may think it a trivial matter, but buyers do ask if there’s a sushi restaurant in the area, or if there are any Jewish Synagogues nearby. 

Are there meeting places where members of ethnic communities can mingle and share views, cuisine and stores about “back home”?

Tip 14

Is there a doctor in the house?

Does your area have a good hospital?  What makes that hospital a plus factor?  Families that have aging in-laws in tow would like to know if they can get medical help immediately in case of an emergency. 

Also, if your local area hospital is known for a particular specialization make sure you let your buyers know.

Tip 15

How is the transportation system?

How far are the major highways from your house?  Where is the next largest city?  How developed is your area’s public transportation system?  Proximity to a subway station is typically seen by many as a benefit because downtown parking is expensive.  This constitutes a great advantage also for teenaged children who attend university downtown.
