What to check
These are general points, not statements about this home’s condition. An inspector and the seller’s disclosures answer them for this property.
- Age of the home. Homes built before 1990 can still have original electrical panels, plumbing, windows and water heaters. An inspector can date each major system so a buyer can plan for what is likely to need replacing.
- Homeowners association. Ask for the association budget, the reserve study and the rules before the inspection period ends. Fees, special assessments and rules on things like parking or rentals change the real cost of owning the home.
Questions to ask the listing agent
A buyer can bring these to the listing agent. They come from what the listing shows, not from anything known about the seller.
- Can the seller’s loan be assumed, and at what rate?
- What are the age rules for residents, and do they apply to guests or family who move in later?
- Which major systems, such as the electrical panel, plumbing and water heater, have been replaced?
- Are there special assessments planned, and what does the association fee cover?
- Is there permit history for work done since the earlier sales?
- Which items, such as appliances and fixtures, come with the sale?
