The house gets all the attention 🏘️ but the neighbourhood is where real life actually happens.

According to a 2025 NAR survey, the top three factors buyers consider when choosing a neighbourhood are quality of the area, proximity to friends and family, and overall affordability. 📊 Interestingly, proximity to work — which was the number one factor back in 2014 — has dropped significantly down the list.
