10. Not Thinking About the Future

It's impossible to perfectly predict the future of your chosen neighbourhood, but paying attention to the information that is available to you now can help you avoid unpleasant surprises down the road.

Some questions you should ask about your prospective property include:

• What kind of development plans are in the works for your neighbourhood in the future?

• Is your street likely to become a major street or a popular rush-hour shortcut?

• Will a highway be built in your backyard in five years?

• What are the zoning laws in your area?

• If there is a lot of undeveloped land, what is likely to get built there?

• Have home values in the neighbourhood been declining?

If you're happy with the answers to these questions, then your house's location can keep its rose-coloured lustre.
