Whether you’re buying, selling, relocating, upsizing, or downsizing, navigating the Fort McMurray real estate market can feel overwhelming. However, there are plenty of inexpensive or free activities you can engage in that will set you on the right path, even if you’re just exploring your options. Here are three underrated activities that everyone can benefit from:
1. Take Advantage of Open Houses
Open houses are a fantastic way to get a real feel for different styles of homes. You can explore various neighborhoods and discover what resonates with your aesthetic and lifestyle. This isn’t just about finding the perfect home; it’s also about understanding market trends and the features that are available in your desired areas. Buyers, sellers and neighbours can benefit from visiting open houses. Plus, it’s a no-pressure environment where you can take your time and envision your future.
2. Drive the Neighborhoods at Different Times of Day
Your dream home isn’t just about the house itself—it’s also about the community. Take the time to drive around at different times of day (daytime, shift change, evening, etc.) to observe. For example, is the area noisy with traffic? Does it seem kid friendly? Is there available street parking? Observing the dynamics of the area will help you narrow down your search criteria. Grab a coffee and some company and make a day out of checking out some favourite spots.
