Since you have toured the property you
are interested in, you should know how it compares to the general neighborhood.
All you have to do is put the home in one of three categories - average, above
average, or below average.
When evaluating a homeâs condition,
there are a number of things you should consider. Structural condition is most
important - items such as walls, ceilings, floors, doors and windows. Then
paint, carpets, and floor coverings. Pay special attention to bathrooms and
bedrooms and whether the plumbing and electricity work efficiently. Look at the
fixtures, such as light switches, doorknobs, and drawer handles. The front and
back yards should be in reasonably good shape.
The missing ingredient will be
information on the condition of the homes from your comparable sales list.
Provided you chose the right agent to represent you, they will have actually
visited most of those homes and be able to provide key insights.
