OPTIONAL · BRING IT TO EVERY SHOWING

House-HuntingChecklist.

The interactive version of the one-page checklist from The Home Buying Process. Score the home, the neighborhood, and the convenience while you are standing in it. Your entries save in your browser as you go. Nothing is sent until you press “Email this to Tyler” at the bottom.

A few facts so each home stays straight.

After three or four showings they blur together. Capture the basics while you are there.

Poor · Okay · Ideal.

Go room by room and trust your first read. The things that make you stop, good or bad, are the things we will talk about after.

You buy the street as much as the house.

Step outside, look both ways, and score the block and what it is close to.

The Neighborhood

Condition of nearby homes
Traffic
Noise level
Safety / feel
Parking
Mix of neighbors
Pride of ownership
HOA restrictions

Convenience To

Grocery
Schools
Work / commute
Retail & dining
Childcare
Hospitals / urgent care
Parks & recreation
Highway access

Tap each one this home actually has.

Yes or no on each. Skip what you cannot tell.

A yes is not a deal-killer. It is something I want to know before we write an offer, so we price it in or inspect for it.

Roof looks aged or patched
HVAC looks old or struggling
Cracks or settling concerns
Signs of water damage / stains
Dated electrical panel
On a busy road
Backs to commercial / power lines
Needs major work to be livable

First impressions, gut feelings, anything that stood out.

What you loved, what nagged at you, what you would want to look at again, questions for the listing agent. Write it while it is fresh.
