Buying a Home - what to look for in walkthroughs
Buying
a Home - What should I look for when walking through a home?
In
addition to comparing the home to your minimum requirement and wish lists,
use this Home Scorecard and consider the following:
-
Is
there enough room for both the present and the future?
-
Are
there enough bedrooms and bathrooms?
-
Is
the house structurally sound?
-
Do
the mechanical systems and appliances work?
-
Is
the yard big enough?
-
Do
you like the floor plan?
-
Will
your furniture fit in the space? Is there enough storage space? (Bring a
tape measure to better answer these questions.)
-
Does
anything need to repaired or replaced? Will the seller repair or replace
the items?
-
Imagine
the house in good weather and bad, and in each season. Will you be happy
with it year-round?
Take
your time and think carefully about each house you see. Ask your real
estate agent to point out the pros and cons of each home from a
professional standpoint.
