Home For Sale in Timaru

If you are looking at a home for sale in Timaru, located in the Southern Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island, it is likely you have been attracted to the area by the friendly community and superb location. Timaru is a quaint seaside town that has maintained its historic heritage and Edwardian character. Many residents enjoy fantastic views overlooking Caroline Bay and the backdrop of snow clad mountain ranges of Mt Cook. There are an array of beautiful parks and gardens including the Trevor Griffiths Rose Garden, safe swimming beaches during summer and the Waitaki Lakes to explore - perfect for a family day out any time of the year.

There are several things you need to consider before making that all important decision. So often we are swayed by emotion, buying on our gut feeling about whether we love a place or not, instead of thinking of it as one of the biggest investments and purchases we'll ever make. Your place needs to be a good mix of somewhere you love, and something that makes a good business decision for you, your family and your money.

The old adage location, location, location is never more true than when purchasing a place you plan to live in. There are several areas where you can look for property in Timaru: Gleniti, Grantlea, Marchwiel and South End. While the whole town is close to more amenities and it's easy to manoeuvre around, you do want to be able to be within walking distance or easy driving distance to schools, work and supermarkets, especially if you have a young family. You may be an avid swimmer, and want to be close to the pool, or need a place close to a park, river or close to the edge of town for an easy escape at the end of a hard day.

Once you've sorted out the basic area you want to live in, consider which home for sale in Timaru suits your lifestyle and living requirements best? What is the smallest or largest size of house you will go? What about the section surrounding it? If you are an avid gardener, then a large section will be a plus, but for those who feel more comfortable with less to work with outside will prefer a smaller outside space.

You may love to have a place that has had all the hard work done, or you could be an avid DIYer who can think of nothing nicer than having a series of projects all within your own house. Of course for many just an opportunity to apply a new paint job or add new carpet may be enough. Areas that can be pricey to change are the kitchen and bathroom, plus any major structural changes. It's a good idea to plan these into your buying budget if you do spot a likely DIY investment.

The most important thing in the end is whether the home for sale in Timaru is a place you could happily settle and enjoy living in for some time. Unlike renting it's a long term commitment to a place, and you need to be happy with your decision, whatever it is in the end.
