5 Things to Look for When House Hunting that most buyers don’t consider:
1. Architectural details (think high ceilings, arched doorways, crown molding, french doors, wood trim, wainscoting). These little details can add so much character to a house!
2. Natural Light (if this is important to you, make it a priority). This is why it's also critical to tour homes in the daylight. My favorite time is first thing in the morning so you can see that morning sun streaming through the windows. Twilight hour is also a good time!
3. Condition: Are you willing to paint and do minor updates or does it need to be move-in ready? The last thing you want is to feel like you're living in Fixer-Upper if you're not cut out for living in a construction zone!
4. Overall house flow and layout: What can’t be changed easily or at all? Think about things like where the laundry room is located, how much space you have in the kitchen, storage, bedroom positions, etc.
5. Location: These may sound cliche because everyone in real estate says it's all about LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION but keeping it here as an extra reminder to not let little details distract you from the location you truly want to be in! Think about the distance to work, what you want to be near, how quiet the street is, and local attractions.
