When looking for a new home, walking through a home you are considering purchasing can be overwhelming. There are so many factors to consider, things to look for – not to mention making sure the home is right for your family and budget.

I have created a simple checklist you can use, which will make your next walkthrough experience a little easier. You can use this checklist during an open house or when your agent takes you through a home personally. If you do not currently have a real estate agent, I would be more than happy to speak with you and show you homes currently for sale throughout Bucks County.

Outside of the home:

Ensure the foundation is not cracked

Look for extensive cracks in the driveway and sidewalk

Check the siding – making sure none is missing or damaged

Inside the home:

Flip on some light switches and ensure they work

Bring a small appliance (such as your cell phone charger) and make sure outlets in each room work correctly

Turn on faucets and check for leaks

Look for water stains on ceilings

Check around the windows for mold and/or signs of water damage

Make sure windows open and close properly
