\n\n\n\n

For many folks, hopping from one open house to the next is the most fun part of buying a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stepping into a new home is a little like trying on a new life. What if this is your future? How will your life be different if this<\/i> is the dining room where you host future Thanksgiving dinners? If this<\/i> is the yard where your children play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019ve never owned a home before, or if it\u2019s been awhile since you shopped for homes, it\u2019s easy to get so caught up in imagining the future in a particular home that you fail to notice problems with the home in the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First-time homebuyers often fail to notice key issues at open houses. So before you head to your next open house, make sure you\u2019re paying attention to these four things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs of Neglect<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Even rookie homebuyers know to look out for condition issues at an open house. But catching all of the potential issues in a home isn\u2019t easy, even if you know to look for problems. Remember: sellers also know that would-be buyers are looking for trouble spots. Many sellers and real estate professionals will do their best to make flaws and potential problems a little less obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a homebuyer, it\u2019s your job to see through careful staging to get the real scoop on the house. That rug that really pulls the dining room together? It might be concealing goofed up flooring. Those curtains could be covering poorly sealed window frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look in the cabinets. Open and close all the doors. Gently try to wiggle the shelves in the closet. Try the light switches. Flush the toilet. If people have been living in the home you\u2019re considering, wear and tear on the place is inevitable. Try not to worry too much about superficial issues: scuff marks on a wall can be covered with a quick coat of paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But though you\u2019re bound to find some issues, pay extra attention to any issues that might indicate that maintenance on the home has been neglected or deferred. Stains on the ceiling can indicate roof leaks. Warped baseboards can signal past or ongoing water damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember too that a homeowner who hasn\u2019t bothered to repair cracked caulking around the tub is frequently also the kind of homeowner who hasn\u2019t serviced the furnace or boiler regularly. A poorly maintained home is a potential headache waiting to happen, so remember that even relatively benign condition issues could clue you into the potential for larger, less-visible structural issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funky Aromas<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Sellers and Real Estate professionals alike know that smells can have a powerful emotional impact on potential homebuyers. You\u2019ve probably heard about real estate agents baking bread or cookies, or using fresh and fragrant floral arrangements to brighten up rooms throughout the home. Warm, inviting scents can be very appealing. But they can also be used to mask funky smells you\u2019d have to deal with if you buy the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go ahead and enjoy the floral arrangements or fresh baked goods, of course, but do be a little bit wary: if every room smells like it\u2019s been doused in perfume, there\u2019s a reason. (It\u2019s probably not a pleasant one.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019re at the open house, take a good sniff around. Inhale deeply in basements, bathrooms, and periodically throughout the home. Your nose could tip you off to pet damage, water issues, or mildew that you may not spot with just your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noise Levels<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

A bustling open house can potentially muffle the sound of a nearby highway or a neighbor\u2019s noisy dogs. So while you\u2019re at the open house, try to take a moment to stop and listen to the surroundings. Can you hear birds? Cars? A neighbor\u2019s son\u2019s garage band? Noise issues can seriously affect your quality of life as a homeowner, and too often people don\u2019t think about noise until they\u2019ve moved into their new space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, even if all seems quiet during the open house, think about potential noise levels at other times of the day or year.  <\/span>Old fashioned steam-radiators that are silent in the spring and summer may clank and whistle all winter. Neighborhoods that are quiet Sunday mornings may not be so quiet Friday nights. Schools, factories, or stadiums nearby could be pretty loud, if only occasionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential Neighbors<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Most first-time homebuyers remember to consider a home\u2019s proximity to schools, stores, restaurants, and their places of business. But frequently, first-time homebuyers neglect to consider the people occupying the buildings nearest to their potential new home: their neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019re at an open house, look out all of the windows with an eye toward your future privacy: remember, if you can see into your neighbor\u2019s home from inside the house, they\u2019ll also be able to see into yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On your way to or from the open house, consider driving around or even taking a walk to get a feel for the neighbors and the area. Are people out walking dogs? Is there evidence of children in the yards?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also not unusual for neighborhood people to show up at a local open house, just our of curiosity. If you overhear a fellow open house attendee say that she\u2019s in just from the neighborhood, asking a few polite questions about what it\u2019s like to live nearby could be invaluable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got all that? If it helps, try to remember the four N’s: Neglect, Nose, Noise, Neighbors.  Keeping these issues in mind can help you make an informed decision on your future home purchase.
