Check for cracks in walls, ceilings, and foundations—these could signal bigger issues. Uneven floors or doors that don’t close properly may indicate settling problems.
Look for missing shingles, water stains, or signs of wear on the roof. A well-maintained exterior means fewer costly repairs down the line.
Run faucets, check water pressure, and look under sinks for leaks or mold. Water stains on ceilings or walls can indicate past or ongoing issues.
Ask about the age of the heating and cooling system. Test light switches and outlets to ensure they work properly.
Check for drafts, fogging, or difficulty opening windows. Well-placed windows can improve energy efficiency and brighten the home.
Visit at different times of the day to gauge noise levels and traffic. Walk around to get a feel for the community.
Ensure there’s enough closet and storage space. Make sure the layout fits your lifestyle and furniture needs.
A thorough walk-through can help you make a confident and informed decision. Happy house hunting! 🏡
