So, in an effort to find the right home, it's time to sharpen your pencils and search out some statistics regarding your Atlanta home. Do you know how to determine if your new home is the best choice?

What Research Helps When Buying a Home?

A little research (which includes working with a real estate agent that knows the metro Atlanta area can go a long way in home buying. Knowing the neighborhood and local community means being aware of similar property values, market trends, crime statistics, and the local schools. If you want to do your own research on any area, in addition to asking us, here are some resources for you to consider.

General City Info - City Data (Also check out individual town websites.)

Local Businesses - Yelp

Crime Stats - Neighborhood Scout

Predators & Sex Offenders - Federal Resource

School Statistics - Great Schools

In any neighborhood, consider the school district and the individual school located near your new home. Watch for general trends rather than yearly scores. The money a school district or individual school spends per child, teacher turn-over rate, and parent satisfaction rate will give you the information you need, along with traditional API scores.
