A recent study has examined the main factors that are decisive for real estate buyers when choosing a location. The results show that there are three main factors that are particularly important: A quiet location, proximity to nature and good public transport links.
The three most important location factors when buying real estate
1. quiet location: the most important factor
For more than 60% of the buyers surveyed, a quiet location is the decisive factor when buying a property. An environment without noise and hustle and bustle contributes significantly to quality of life. Most people prefer a home in quiet residential areas, away from busy roads or noisy commercial areas.
2. proximity to nature: highly valued by many
Over 60% of buyers attach great importance to being close to nature. A place of residence that is close to parks, forests or lakes significantly increases the quality of life. Families and people who lead an active lifestyle particularly appreciate being able to spend their free time in nature.
3. good connection to public transportation
Good public transport connections are an important criterion for more than 50% of buyers. The ability to use public transport quickly and conveniently makes everyday life easier and is particularly important in urban areas. A well-developed public transport network ensures that workplaces, schools and leisure facilities are easily accessible.
Municipal tax rate: an important point for over 30 percent
In addition to traditional criteria such as location and transport links, the municipality’s tax rate is becoming increasingly important when deciding for or against a property. Over 30% of the buyers surveyed consider the tax rate to be a decisive factor in their purchase decision.
The tax rate has a direct influence on annual housing costs and can have a long-term financial impact. In municipalities with a low tax rate, owners benefit from lower tax contributions, which has a positive effect on disposable income. Especially in times of rising living costs, a low tax rate can be a strong argument for a property in a particular municipality.
