Whether you\u2019re a first-time homebuyer or a repeat buyer, there are some key <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/5-key-questions-to-ask-a-realtor\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">questions to ask your real estate agent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the seller. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#1 What is the history of the property?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by asking about the history of the property, from the date it was built to details about previous owners. Ask about recent renovations, add-ons, or major repairs that you might not notice when viewing a home. Finding your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/home-assessors-parcel-number\/\">APN number<\/a> can help you uncover useful property info.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#2 Why is the house for sale?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect that there may be an issue with the home, ask the seller upfront why they are selling. It could be that they are moving areas, downsizing, or relocating for a job. Or, they might have noisy neighbors, a difficult HOA, or safety concerns. It\u2019s best to get everything out in the open.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#3 How long has the property been on the market?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer will help you determine your offer. Sellers with houses that have been on the market for a long time will likely be more amenable to price negotiations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#4 What are the local amenities?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, pose specific questions about the neighborhood. Is it safe? Is it quiet? Does it have amenities like public transportation, hospitals, a local library, restaurants, and a community pool? If you have children or plan to, you\u2019ll also want to inquire about the reputation of local schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#5 What are the average monthly utility costs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utility costs range by geographic area and by household, depending on usage, system efficiency, location, and property size. Ask the seller what the average costs are to get a good idea of how much you will owe each month.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#6 Are there any Homeowners Association (HOA) fees?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Residential properties can belong to a local HOA that cares for neighborhood resources and amenities. This may incur a monthly or yearly fee. It\u2019s good to know that number when you are closing on the home, plus what it covers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#7 What are the estimated property taxes?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Property taxes will vary depending on your local tax rate, which includes state and county taxes. After you\u2019ve figured out your mortgage, you\u2019ll add these taxes to your total expected costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#8 Are there any major repairs or renovations needed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you pay for a home inspection, ask upfront if there are any major issues with the home. These might include problems with the roof, windows, doors, plumbing, electrical system, heating system, and foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#9 Does the street have a lot of traffic?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to ask about the potential street traffic. Some streets are public throughways, meaning you\u2019ll have to deal with non-stop commotion as people drive past your house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#10 Is the property in an area prone to natural disasters?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note whether a property is in a high-risk area prone to floods, wildfires, or other natural disasters. If so, you&#8217;ll need additional home owner&#8217;s insurance that can incur high premiums. Talk to local authorities, consult flood risk maps, and check building codes to learn about the local disaster history.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#11 What type of heating and cooling system does the house have?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing the type of heating or cooling system in the home will help determine energy efficiency and costs. Depending on when these systems were installed, you\u2019ll also be able to gauge when you\u2019ll need to replace them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#12 What appliances are included in the sale?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large household appliances and fittings, such as a refrigerator or light fixtures, may or may not be included in the sale. These can be a bargaining chip on both sides, so be sure to inquire about their age and condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#13 Is the home a stigmatized property?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, it sounds like a joke, but does the home have any sinister or illegal history? This would include deaths or suicides, crimes, or hauntings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask The Right Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth asking as many <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/the-10-most-important-questions-before-making-an-offer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">questions before making an offer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as possible, as most loan terms are for 30 years.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a good understanding of the pros and cons of a house can help you make a fair offer and ultimately, let you enjoy the home to its fullest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the basic info about the home\u2019s history to more detailed neighborhood facts, here are 13 key questions to be sure you ask yourself or your agent.
