One of the first questions many buyers ask is "How old is this house?"

A great question to ask, especially when house hunting in some of our older & historic neighborhoods.
What they really want to know is "What potential problems will I have to deal with if I move forward on purchasing this home?"
To get a more detailed picture of possible future issues the house faces due to its age, ask “How old are the home’s systems and features such as the roof, windows, HVAC, electric, and plumbing/septic/well?”
Asking good questions is key to making an informed decision!
