🏡 Open Houses: What to Look for Beyond the Decor!

👀 Don’t Be Fooled by Staging – Here’s What Really Matters!

An open house might feel like a home decor dream, but don’t let stylish furniture and perfect lighting distract you! Your goal is to evaluate if the home is a great fit for you and your family. Here’s a checklist to help you look beyond the surface:

  • 🪟 Windows: Are they letting in natural light? Do they offer a nice view or face a neighbor’s window?

  • 🚰 Under the Sink: Check for any water damage that might indicate plumbing issues.

  • 🔌 Outlets: Ensure there are enough for your appliances and devices.

  • 📦 Storage Space: Look beyond closet size—check placement and accessibility.

  • 🛠 Appliances: If included, test them to make sure they’re in working order.

  • 🛋 Under Rugs: Peek underneath to inspect the condition of the flooring.

  • 📏 Floor Level: Use a marble or small round object to see if the floors are even.

  • ❄️ Attic: If applicable, check for proper insulation.

  • 🌧 Water Drainage: Step outside to ensure gutters direct water away from the home.

Looking past the decor can help you make a smart homebuying decision! Need expert guidance? Let’s connect and find your dream home together! 🏠💡
