if you're thinking about moving to New Brunswick but don't know where to start stay tuned
hi everyone I am Koko Kenny I am a realtor in Fredericton New Brunswick in this video I
have got the five things you need to do before you starting to looking at home in New Brunswick there
are so many reasons to move to New Brunswick some people choose to live here to be close to family
or for an affordable lifestyle others because of our basic universal government-funded healthcare
and our excellent education system still others choose New Brunswick to be minutes away from ocean
lakes rivers and the trails as well as library urban centers and smaller friendly communities
your first step in moving to New Brunswick is to do your research number one research your
new location maybe you already have a home lineup maybe you don't either way research is your best
ally before you relocate somewhere new what are the options for entertainment and leisure
at the New Brunswick if you have children what are your school options some people relocate
already with a job offer in the new city while some are just looking for a change in lifestyle
if you don't have a secure job in New Brunswick yet suggest start to look for a job before you
move so you will not have a financial stress after you move to New Brunswick number two
choose a neighborhood it is not so difficult to choose a neighborhood if you are moving to New
Brunswick for a particular job it is easy you just relocate whichever area close to your work
or 30 to 45 minutes from your work or whatever ideal commute is for you
it is possible to physically visit your new home neighborhood before you move in I highly
recommend it to see the area physically so you can choose whichever neighborhood speaks to you but if
it isn't google maps might give you good idea of what to expect have a look at the house around you
where are the closest amenities is it easy to get around by car walking and or transit a lot of
rural areas are getting a high-speed internet but if internet speeds are the determining factor for
your move you definitely need to research this ahead of time as a realtor i can point you the
right direction but I can't do that research for you the third thing when you move to New Brunswick
is that your expectations are realistic homes available in your price point is available or not
if it is not available what you should consider either increase your budget or pivot your wants
and needs like a number of bedroom or bathroom size of the house or area or neighborhood this
is a very important one especially in this crazy sellers market i would suggest to go to website
like realtor.ca to look around if your desirable home and your price point is available or not
most of the people who comes to me already have a desirable home in their mind and the budget
in this day of 2022 we don't need a realtor to look to find a house but i will say though some
of the information on the website is sometimes delay so I highly recommend it to connect with
the local realtor for you to connect with the MLS systems Fredericton I can set up the automated
email system with your budget and the criteria so anything you hit on the MLS listings Fredericton
that meet your criteria the system will give us a notification so we will not miss any chance
hit the thumbs up button really quick if you find the value in this content the fourth
thing that you need to do before you moving to new bronze week is determine if this market is right
for you to buy a house we are currently in the big sellers market home price went up 24.5 percent
between 2020 to 2021. we have been seeing multiple offers on existing homes for last couple of years
we are seeing a multiple offered situation for the available listings more and more in New Brunswick
real estate tips for buyers in the multiple offer situation is that to act first you should get the
pre-approved for a loan ahead of time so you are ready to go anytime no you are at the disadvantage
so when you write an offer you need to be ready to put your best price with your best term
be patient if you find that you keep losing out the house you are interested in it is crucial
to be patient and not to discourage it is also important to revisit what is most important to you
when purchasing a house no in a strong seller's market you might have to make some changes you
might not get everything what you want and i am not by any mean I am to telling you to settle
but you might need to make some adjustments once you determine where you want to move you have done
your due diligence that the area meets your needs you determine your expectations are realistic
and you know you are ready to enter this insane seller's market now you are ready to firming your
relocation team in order to do that you will need to connect with a local realtor later on you can
possibly add a local lawyer inspector contractor etc... maybe I am a realtor for you or based on
what you're watching video you may determine completely different area is better for you i
am more than happy to connect to my colleague in the other area so you will be in the right hand
