Baker Plantations: What to Know Before Moving into a New Baker Plantation Home

Whether this is your first home, or not, there are several factors that you and your family need to take into consideration well before you sign on the dotted line.

What to Know Before Moving into Your New Baker Plantation Home

From budgeting to lifestyle changes, here are few things you need to know before moving into a new home in Baker Plantation:

• No matter if you do it in person, or online, scoping out prospective neighborhoods before settling on a new home will give you a better idea of what each can provide you and your family. Knowing which schools, shopping centers, entertainment options, and job opportunities are available can help determine which community is truly right for you.
• If you do end up researching neighborhoods in person, keep a running list of things that stick out to you, including: the presence of children, parks, neighborhood pets, safe walkways, bike lanes, and anything else that helps you get a better sense of the immediate area.
• Double Check the Warranty
• Research the Neighborhood
• Since home warranties are different from homeowner’s insurance, it’s best to get a good sense of what your builder’s home warranty covers, and for how long. Crescent Homes has an extensive home warranty coverage plan, which keeps aspects of your home protected from one year to a full decade.
• Establish a Timeline
• You’ve thoroughly researched the right neighborhood, set a strict budget, and signed off on a solid warranty. Now is the time to determine exactly how long you plan on staying in your new home. 
• Saving up enough equity to cover certain fees takes time, so it’s best to plan on staying in your new home for at least five years or more, before considering a move.
• There are a lot of considerations that homeowners need to be aware of before moving into a new place. With these helpful tips you’ll be able to stay ahead of the curve, while you get settled into your new neighborhood.
