Looking for a new home can be a daunting task. So if you’re new to Cumberland, take a tour of the town and look closely at the different neighborhoods. You’ll see Cumberland is a small town that offers a lot to its residents. We have top-notch schools, hospital and plenty of attractions to visit. Plus, our agents at RE/MAX Northstar give you five things to consider when searching for Cumberland real estate for sale.

Know Your Budget

It’s tempting to look at large fancy homes on the market, but be realistic about your budget. Consider an apartment or condo if you have a tight budget. Smaller homes and townhouses work well for those buying their first home. Cumberland has a variety of affordable real estate for sale.

Know Where To Live

Cumberland boasts many great areas to live. So when it comes to buying a house, consider your priorities. Families with small children should look into neighborhoods in the school district. Houses in neighborhoods with young families also have higher property values than some areas. If you like to live near amenities with hustle and bustle, consider neighborhoods near a shopping center.

Cumberland has very attractive waterfront homes along Beaver Dam Lake. You couldn’t ask for a more prime location. If you have the means, look into these houses.

Know When To Buy

Conventional wisdom tells us spring is the best time to buy a house. Sellers actually have the advantage during the spring. With so much competition amongst buyers, you could be outbid. Buyers fare better during the fall. Sellers are more willing to negotiate with fewer buyers available. Consider waiting until the fall to buy a house for better deals.

Get Involved

Get involved with the Cumberland community. When you find a neighborhood you like, talk with the neighbors. Find out as much as you can about the area to see if it fits your needs. Some buyers prefer neighborhoods busy with activities, while others might prefer a quieter environment.

Take part in events happening in your area. You’ll explore some parts of town you hadn’t noticed before. The Cumberland Chamber of Commerce’s Facebook page lists all the upcoming activities in town.
