Commute Times

Are you moving to a different city or state for a new job?  Moving can be stressful under the best circumstances but when you are moving to an unfamiliar place that stress can be compounded. 
Internet searches can be so helpful in determining where to look for your new home.  One thing you may want to consider before looking in a specific area is your future commute.  Consider that sometimes even if you live fairly close to where you work the commute can take long.  As you plan your move take the time to research traffic patterns.  Visiting local news websites are an easy way to do this.  Pay attention to traffic levels at the time that you would plan to travel.  Also, ask your Realtor about traffic.  They will know the in’s and out’s of the city as well.  
A little due diligence before the move can help you in the long run by helping you make informed decisions about your location.  If you are not fond of long, slow commutes you will thank yourself every time you get in the car to go to work.
