A very popular long term Real Estate investment strategy is determine the path of development, buy before it gets there, then sit and wait.
Buying a home is not much different, except that future benefits are generally secondary to immediate needs. Certain school districts, proximity to work, play, outside activities or entertainment are just a few of the characteristics families look at when they are evaluating a community. That may have changed.
