Tip #4 For Planning Your Home in the Country

Begin your property search online.

Browsing Internet real estate listings is an efficient way to begin researching the wide array of rural properties and pricing, and you may even serendipitously discover a new-to-you town offering the perfect parcel of land. Through the property information available online, you can then search local government agencies to gain a sense of the area’s history, economic development, school system, tax assessment process, and more.

Realtors can be conveniently contacted by email with any questions you have about their properties. Putting Internet real estate resources to work for you can help narrow down your list of potential properties, and prepares you to be that much more focused when visiting the property and surrounding area. MidAtlantic Farm Credit’s Leader magazine also features great rural property listings for sale.
