Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we dive into the key considerations young families should keep in mind when looking for a new home. Join Program Director Alexandra Dutton as she talks with OFS Mill Valley parent and realtor Emily Schaffer (Engel & Völkers) about this complicated process. From affordability and floor plans to schools and community connections, we discuss how to buy a home that fits your current needs while planning for the future. Is your "forever home" necessary at this stage, or is it better to take baby steps? We also explore the importance of community in the home buying process—what does a supportive village look like, and how can families build connections to create a fulfilling, active lifestyle in their new neighborhood? Tune in for practical tips on making the right choice for your growing family!
