Let’s face it – real estate is a complicated
business. Regardless of whether you just want to sell your home, or you’re
looking for a career in real estate; you’ll need to become familiar with the
intricacies of this market. And that doesn’t just mean getting to know the
day-to-day facets of this business. Especially
in today’s world, real estate is a fast-changing game. Which means that
you’ll have to constantly follow the latest real estate trends, if you want to
stay on top. With that in mind – we’ve prepared a few short and long-term
trends that you should be aware of. So read on and enjoy!
Slower growth dictates more
imagination
So, let’s say that you want to sell your home,
find
cross country moving professionals in Virginia, and move somewhere
else. If you want to get the best price you can, you should learn about the
latest real estate trends. And we’re not just talking about the local market;
if you want to play this smart, you could even find yourself getting into the
real estate business by pure chance. After all – knowledge is power. And if
you’re someone who’s already a part of this industry; knowing the latest developments will do you well. With that in
mind, we’ll take a peek at the general outlook first.
Remember, real estate is, at the end of the
day, a market like any other; meaning
that the general changes in the national economy impact it quite a lot. And
if we could describe the coming changes with one word, it would be – slowdown.
Indeed, while it doesn’t seem we’re entering any sort of economic crisis; the
big economic upswing of recent years seems to be winding down. Which means one
crucial thing for the real estate market in general; all of the low-hanging
fruit is basically gone. If you want to make a huge profit as a seller now,
you’ll have to be more imaginative. So, take a look at emerging markets, or
renovation and flipping of old buildings. Perhaps you’ll want to think about
office space for particular business niches; basically, the possibilities are
endless. But one thing’s certain –
you’ll have to do a degree of thinking.
Second cities are all the rage
As we’ve already mentioned, if you want to
learn about the latest real estate trends; one of them is the need to examine
secondary markets. As the economy starts
slowing down, you’ll have to do more out-of-the-box thinking if you want to
make money as a seller. That’s why looking at alternative markets compared to
the mainstream ones is a good idea.
Suburban areas and second cities are becoming more attractive to buyers!
So, if you’re selling a
property and looking to reinvest; we recommend taking a look at some
of the smaller cities in the US. This is
doubly true if you’re prepared to wait a bit to make good on your investment.
As economists have predicted for a long while, smaller US cities have started
experiencing a revitalization; meaning that more and more millennials have
begun moving or returning here. The math is simple – as more job opportunities
appear in smaller local economies, especially
with the Internet giving you the option of working from anywhere; these
small towns and cities are becoming a more affordable option than living in a
bustling downtown area and spending a fortune on mortgage or rent.
An eye for details
While suburban areas and second cities are on
the rise according to recent real estate trends; don’t think that traditionally
high-volume environments are losing their place in the world of real estate. If
you’re a building investor or owner in a bustling city, you’ll find that the apartment arms race is still going strong; in
fact, it’s more apparent than ever. And what exactly are we talking about here?
Well, building owners and managers have long struggled to offer the best
possible amenities in their properties; attracting more reliable and luxurious
tenants and buyers.
Amenities such as co-working spaces are becoming a basic necessity!
But while this used to mean having easy
rooftop access and a gym in the building; these days, you have to invest
additional resources if you want to attract the right people. As
buyers become more and more demanding, you’ll need to stay on top if you want
to deal with the best people on the market. So, as a seller; examine how
multifamily developments that are truly cutting-edge are attracting buyers. You’ll find that these now include some previously
unthinkable amenities, such as movie theaters and co-working spaces. Sure,
this may seem like quite a lot; but in the world of smart-technology homes and
plenty of real estate options; just having a laundry room isn’t exactly enough.
Big long-term changes
Sure, most of the things we’ve mentioned
represent mid-term real estate trends at best. But are there any long-term
changes that will completely change this market over the coming years? The
answer is definitely a resounding ‘yes’. For one – you can expect tech companies to have a much larger influence on real
estate. After all, these companies always have their eye on older
industries they bring innovation to; but that also means having more influence
over traditional realtors. And seeing as
real estate makes up around 13% of the US GDP – this is a great place to invest
in.
Expect the tech industry to play a larger role in the real estate business!
So, expect more inroads to be made by tech startups, as well as already established companies and service provides. This isn’t just a pipe dream either; which you can confirm by looking at venture capital investments. Real estate tech projects may raise more than $5 billion by the end of this year; which means that we’ll be seeing quite a few tech-powered changes in this industry over the coming years.

Moving involves a couple of steps. The first one is making
the decision and starting to look for a home. When you have a lot of options,
it may be difficult to find the perfect spot for you and your family. Picking
the right home is essential, but it’s not the only thing that will make your
life nicer and happier. You need to find the right neighborhood, too. Choosing
a neighborhood needs to be done carefully, so you pick one that suits your
needs – depending on your lifestyle. So, if you are searching for a
neighborhood in Orange County, VA, here are the things to look for.
Orange County VA basics
Orange County is a
rural area which, though not so big, gives you the opportunity to enjoy amazing
nature. With the population of around 33,000, it is a place of a diverse
economy, proved to be very good for different industries and businesses. It’s
located in the central part of Virginia’s
Piedmont region, and its land is mostly made of hills, especially towards
the Blue Ridge Mountains.
What to look for when searching for a neighborhood in Orange County, VA
Looking for the perfect neighborhood? Well, you’ll
definitely find one in Orange County. The only problem is – which one suits
your lifestyle the best? Here’s what you should consider before you start
looking for a home.
If you have kids – look for good schools
Having kids changes your lifestyle and needs a lot.
Therefore, when searching for a neighborhood in Orange County, VA, be sure to
pick one that offers a nice school for your little ones. Some of the best public schools in Orange
County are:
Orange Elementary School
Locust Grove Elementary School
Unionville Elementary School
Orange County High school
However, this factor only counts if your kids are young and still
need to go to school. You should think about the quality of their education and
them traveling to school every day. Otherwise, there’s no need to pick a
neighborhood according to the best school in the area.
Figure 1 Moving with kids means you need to think about their future – as well as are searching for a neighborhood in Orange County, VA according to their needs
House prices
When searching for a neighborhood in Orange County, VA,
finances play a great role as well. If you think of buying a home, be sure to browse Orange
County house listings and see which place offers the homes you can afford.
Find a neighborhood according to your finances so it will be easier to find a
home there.
Figure 2 Unfortunately, finances are a significant factor when are searching for a neighborhood in Orange County, VA
Safety
Safety is one of the top reasons to choose or not to choose
a neighborhood. Even though everyone wants to live in the safest area possible,
sometimes finances don’t allow us to buy
a home there. However, that shouldn’t worry you. Orange County, VA is a pretty
safe place, but even so, you take a look
at crime reports and consider them as a factor if you’re indecisive between two
or three favorite neighborhoods. You can surely check the
Orange County’s crime history online, so it makes the research even easier.
Furthermore, be sure to visit the desired neighborhood and check it yourself. A safe and friendly e neighborhood is
well-lit at night, with proper sidewalks and kids playing around.
Community
If you rather enjoy an inactive way of life, you wouldn’t
mind living in a community that doesn’t
interact. However, if you like social events like parties, markets,
concerts, etc. – you may want to do some research
on the community you want to live in. You can probably research online – on
official websites or Facebook pages, but the best way is to talk to the people
you meet. Ask the locals about the
community events and top
things to do in Orange County – and at the same time check if they are
friendly to live with.
Figure 3 Do you really want to live in a dull community?
Job market
If you already don’t have a job, researching the job market
is a good idea. This can be an important factor when searching for a
neighborhood in Orange County, VA. You can pick
a home close to your job and significantly reduce the commute time. Always
keep an eye on Orange County Job
Opportunities, so you can find something you really like.
Walkability
Being able to enjoy your neighborhood without constantly
hopping into a bus or a train is a great factor when looking for a home. Be
sure to find a neighborhood that gives you the opportunity to walk to work (if
possible), favorite shops, restaurants, parks, etc. The best way to do it is by
visiting the desired neighborhood. Of course, when moving across the states –
that’s not always possible, but you can definitely research the area online
using Google Maps.
Highway accessibility
If you need to travel often or commute to work, choosing a neighborhood that has easy
access to highways is a must. Therefore, be sure to consider this as an
important factor if your lifestyle requires frequent travels.
Religion
Many religious people want to live close to a church or synagogue. Therefore, it can be one of the
important factors when searching for a neighborhood in Orange County, VA.
Be sure to move to Orange County safely
If you are moving from another state, you probably don’t know
much about Orange County, or you are coming here for the first time. Therefore,
when relocating be sure to do it safely and hire a professional to help you out. A reliable moving company like
heartmoving.us can deal with your
relocation so you can be sure that your items are in the safe hands. Moreover,
a fast and efficient relocation is guaranteed. Just be sure to organize
everything in advance and prepare yourself for the move. You can leave
everything else to the professionals.
Figure 4 With a reliable moving company – your relocation will be safe and easy!
Remember!
There is no perfect neighborhood. When you are searching for a neighborhood in Orange County, VA, you should remember that you can’t find everything you want. That’s why you need to see what the main factors you want to cover are when choosing a neighborhood. Other small details could be probably changed – or you can get used to it. Don’t look for the perfect place, but for the place you can live happily in.
