The #1 Thing Buyers Ignore: Your Neighbours

About this episode
People obsess over price and square footage—but this episode flips the script: you’re not buying square footage, you’re buying the neighbours. The team breaks down why the “wrong” neighbour can turn a great home into a nightmare, how to stress-test a street (at different times of day), and why talking to multiple neighbours can reveal things you’ll never see on a listing.Watch Neighbours, Noise, and Parking: The Hidden Deal Breakers here: https://youtu.be/aL1K0UY9iYcVIDEO SECTIONS & TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:50 You are buying the neighbourhood3:59 The best neighbourhood on paper might be the wrong fit4:21 The “fishbowl” effect: proximity, privacy, and real-life livability5:52 Airbnb traffic7:27 Introverted v.s. extroverted neighbours9:23 Kid-heavy streets10:43 Wrap-up & outroWatch on YouTube:⁠https://youtube.com/kormendytrott⁠Listen on Spotify:⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1pwncyet9NydbgTmx5D21k⁠Linktree:⁠https://linktr.ee/kormendytrott⁠Instagram:⁠https://instagram.com/kormendytrott⁠YouTube:⁠https://youtube.com/kormendytrott⁠Facebook:⁠https://facebook.com/kormendytrott⁠X:⁠https://x.com/kormendytrott⁠LinkedIn:⁠https://linkedin.com/company/ktrealty⁠TikTok:⁠https://tiktok.com/@kormendytrott⁠The Kormendy Trott Team was formed in 2011 by Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott.
