OLDER-HOME GUIDANCE
Give condition and documentation proper weight.
The Wood Streets area is known for established streets and older-home character. Age alone does not describe condition, so every property should be evaluated on its own disclosures, improvements, systems, maintenance history, and inspection results.
For buyers
Read disclosures carefully and ask qualified professionals which inspections fit the property. Depending on the home's age and observed condition, buyers may discuss general, roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, sewer, pest, environmental, or other specialized reviews. Confirm permits and public records through the appropriate agencies.
For sellers
Prepare accurate disclosures and identify verified improvements or maintenance records that can help buyers understand the property. Work with your agent on pricing, preparation, and marketing choices that present the home's character without overstating condition.
