Red Flags When Buying a Home
Sellers aren’t always honest about disclosing information of their homes to potential homebuyers. Make sure you look out for these red flags during open houses or home tours. Always get a professional inspection to alleviate these issues! Skipping a home inspection is not a good way to save home buying costs, you’ll end up paying more in the long run.
Old HVAC – Dirty coils and units can lead to major repairs.
PESTS – Be on the lookout for unwelcome creatures.
BAD ODOR – Smell your way through the home. This is a major red flag!
RANDOM FRESH PAINT – This may be hiding a bigger issue like mold or mildew.
CRACKS – Bulges that are one-third inch or larger can mean the home has serious structural issues.
DOORS THAT WON’T CLOSE – This could be due to the foundation, so open/close & turn on/off everything!
WATER STAINS – Look up and down! Stains = Issues.
What’s Going on in the Market

Buy Now or Wait?
With interest rates still up in the air, these two scenarios reflect what’s going on in the market. Purchasing now gives you an opportunity to purchase your dream home and refinance in the future. Or, you could wait, compete with multiple offers on a home or possibly get out-bid, and end up paying more!
Take a look at this chart to see the difference in Buying Now or Waiting.
Thinking of selling this year? Don’t forget to use our Free Home Valuation Tool.
Knowing the estimated value of your own home helps you price your home for sale, as a precursor to an official home appraisal. And, if you’re shopping for a new home, it’s also useful to check the value of homes in the area to ensure your offer is competitive.
