If you're looking for a home to buy, you're probably prioritizing what you most want to have in your new home. Square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and yard size are always important, but make sure to also consider the length of your commute. This mainly includes the length of time it takes you to drive to and from work, but you should also take into account how close you'll be located to schools, stores, restaurants, and other places you'll likely drive to on a regular basis.

What you need to know about factoring in your commute time when buying a Minneapolis home:

Commute times are tending to get longer rather shorter in most areas, with an average of about a 25-minute drive one way. If you're buying a home near a major city, this can be even greater.

Looking for a home in the suburbs may allow you to get more of what you want for the same amount of money, but there may be a tradeoff involved. You may end up trying to strike a balance between where you can afford the best home and surroundings for the money and the length of your commute.
