Open houses are a valuable tool for home buyers. You can view aproperty in a low-pressure environment, and you can usually take asmuch time as you need. One of the biggest perks is talking to the listingagent and going through your questions to ask at an open house. Youcan find out about the sellers and their motivations for moving and getvital information about the property that might not be on the listing.BEST QUESTIONS TO ASK AT AN OPEN HOUSE#1: WHY IS THE HOUSE FOR SALE?Knowing the reasons why the homeowner is selling can give you a lot ofinformation. It can point you toward potential pitfalls of the home andprovide you with guidance when submitting your offer. If you knowthere’s a job opportunity looming, the seller could be pressed for time— and submitting a quick offer could help you get the home. #2: HAS THE SELLER MADE ANY DIY RENOVATIONS?Ask the agent about any renovations that were done to thehome, especially ones done by the homeowner. These are morelikely to have issues down the road. Plus, they could create acode violation if they didn’t get the proper permits.#3: WHAT’S THE NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE?Loving the home is just one part of the equation. You also wantto love the community it’s located in. Ask the agent about thesurrounding neighborhood — its amenities, the people who livethere, and what businesses and services are in the area.#4: WHAT UTILITIES DOES THE HOME HAVEAND THEIR COST?This is an essential question if you want an energy-efficienthome. Find out if the home uses natural gas, solar energy,electricity, or a combination. Ask about the heating and coolingsystems and for an estimate of all monthly utility costs.
