One underrated part of the time change if you’re house hunting:

That 5:30 or 6:00pm showing after work now means you may be seeing the house, yard and neighborhood almost completely in the dark.

I’ve been running into this with buyers lately. We’ve walked into homes where exterior lighting was poor, rooms were missing bulbs or fixtures, and we were trying to evaluate the yard, neighboring properties and overall setting with almost no daylight left. Seeing a small group of people walking around with their phone flashlights on has become a bit of a common occurrence. 😂

At some point, you start asking whether you’re really getting enough out of the showing to make the best decision.

If a house becomes a serious contender after an evening tour, I’m a big believer in getting back there during daylight before making a major decision.

Dark at 5-something is annoying for plenty of reasons. Add home shopping to the list. 🏡

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Hope everyone has a fun, safe evening.

And to all the adults out there doing their civic duty by “taste-testing” the candy before the kids get to it… I respect it. 🍫

I’ve been working with some buyers recently who have a pretty specific list of wants for their next home, within a specific budget.

We found one that looked like it just might fit the bill. The listing photos had them pretty excited.

One loved the “beautifully renovated kitchen” described and shown in the listing. The other was already picturing the partially finished basement as his sports/man-cave space.

Then we pulled into the driveway.

The exterior condition immediately raised some serious questions. We stood there staring at the house for a minute, nervously laughing. I actually asked whether they wanted to skip the showing altogether.

Curiosity won. “We have to see what this thing looks like inside.”

Let's just say that inside, the house looked and felt very different from what we expected based on the listing photos. There was significant dirt and clutter, an unpleasant odor, neglected areas throughout the house, and basement conditions that brought the showing to a pretty quick end (animal f***s smashed into the carpet isn’t really a selling point for most).

The buyers (and I) left frustrated, because they felt the online presentation hadn’t prepared them at all for what they actually walked into.

They were also pretty ready to go home and take a long shower.

It was a solid reminder of something that’s easy to forget when you’re scrolling listings: Photos can help you decide which homes are worth seeing... but they can't replace actually standing inside one.
