What buyers check before they tour

  • Age and updates: Ask when the roof, windows, furnace and water heater were last replaced, and plan a thorough inspection.
  • Association: If there’s an HOA, review the fees, what they cover and the reserves before you write an offer.
  • Schools: Confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district, since boundaries can change.
