Hey guys with the current market boom I found a single family home 25 years old in a good school district with in my range . Looks like its decently maintained . Is there any thing specifically needed to look for ? When buying a house

A good realtor should be able to help you a lot in identifying the things you wouldn’t know. Off the top of my head, when I was buying we looked at age/condition of roof, ac unit, electrical panel, plumbing. I wish we had looked a little closer at the guts of the house- it had been remodeled by flippers and they had done a lot of aesthetic work without investing in the stuff below the surface. I kind of wish I had bought a house of the same age that hadn’t had any renovations and done the work myself so that I knew it was done up to my expectations.
