Halifax Real Estate Information
Viewing an Open House

General upkeep:

Much can be surmised from the general state of the home. Is the home clean? Are lawns left uncut? Are the walls chipped and in need of paint? If smaller chores have been ignored it may be an indication of a broader disregard for home maintenance. Many sellers may cover problems with fresh coat of paint. Sometimes the newest of the paint work can be an indication of an attempt to hide or cover up potential trouble spots. Sometimes it is important to bring an agent with you to view the home. They can walk you through the major concerns and spot the quick fixes.

Here are some considerations and common problem areas to look for when touring an open house:
General upkeep
Water leaks
Does it work?
Floors
Doors and windows
Poor drainage
Grout and caulking
Structural
Miscellaneous concerns
