What to look for when house hunting in Maine

In this episode  we're diving deep into what you need to look for when house hunting in the beautiful state of Maine. Whether you're a seasoned homebuyer or a first-timer, these key considerations will help you make an informed decision.

1. Home Inspection:

Start your house hunting journey by reviewing a comprehensive home inspection report from a professional inspector. Learn how to interpret it and what to watch out for. Plus, we'll guide you on addressing any concerns or issues identified in the report with the seller.

2. Roof & Plumbing:

We'll take a close look at the roof, making sure it's in top-notch condition to withstand Maine's weather. Plumbing is equally important, so we'll inspect for leaks, water pressure, and drainage issues in sinks, toilets, and showers. Discover how to spot signs of water damage or mold in basements and bathrooms.

3. Noise and Neighbors:

Maine offers a serene lifestyle, but it's essential to assess noise levels. We'll share tips on spending time at the property during different times of the day to get a sense of the environment. Interacting with neighbors is another crucial step to understand neighborhood dynamics.

4. Resale Potential:

Thinking about the future? We'll discuss the resale potential of your chosen property. Consider factors like potential renovations or improvements that could increase its value. We'll also guide you on researching historical appreciation rates in the area.

5. Utilities and Amenities:

Lastly, we'll help you ensure you're not missing out on essential utilities like water, gas, electricity, and internet connectivity. Plus, we'll assess access to amenities like grocery stores, hospitals, and schools to ensure your new Maine home meets all your needs.
