According to the latest Economist Intelligence Unit's
livability survey, Vancouver is the best city to live in North America and the
third best city to live in the world, trailing right behind Melbourne
(Australia) and Vienna (Austria). For this reason, if you've been delaying your
plans to relocate to this great city for awhile, this is a good time to
reconsider and look for housing options here. You can choose from single-family
homes to more luxurious homes in affluent areas.
When house-hunting, it helps to examine a home from
inside and out to know exactly what you'll be in for when you purchase the
home. Doing a quick assessment of the place may cause you to miss a poorly
installed gutter system or fading siding paint. At times, however, with all the
paperwork you need to complete when buying a home, you may not get a chance to
do a thorough examination, so it's best to rely on a house inspector to do it
for you.
It is also a must to familiarize yourself with the
neighborhood. If you scour newspapers and you see that the neighborhood has
figured in robbery incidents, then it may be best for you to take your business
elsewhere. Your fellow residents are also a clue to how charming the community
is; if the people give you a scrutinizing look and you haven't even bought the
place yet, chances are, they are not as welcoming as you'd like them to be.
