Buying Highlands NC Real Estate, Know the Signs of Potential Issues
Lynn Kimball, answering all of your Highlands NC real estate questions
Know the signs of potential issues when buying Highlands NC real estate. When homes are listed for sale they should look their best. However, sometimes looking good can be masking issues or symptoms of issues. Be on the lookout for the signs and avoid purchasing a money pit. Your Highlands NC REALTOR will ensure that a home inspection is in the contract. But, it never hurts to have a general awareness as the buyer.
Signs can be telling
Fresh paint can be a bandaid over an issue. This is especially true for wood trim, both inside and out. Ensuring that the wood is healthy and not rotted is important. Furthermore, fresh paint anywhere in a home could be covering water damage on walls and ceilings. Ask the important questions. Additionally, if you have a suspicion you should make sure your home inspector is suspicious as well.
Smell too fresh?
When a Highlands NC home is overpowered by fresh scents you might want to be curious as to why. When something smells too good it might be a telling sign. Musty smells can easily be hidden by perfume aromas. While this may not always be the case it should push for more questions. Neutral odds throughout a home is ideal.
