🏡 OPEN HOUSE — SUNDAY 12–2 PM
📍 155 Depot Street, Homer, MI
💰 $215,000
When you walk through an open house, it’s easy to get distracted by paint colors, décor, or whether your couch will fit.
But as a Realtor, I want my buyers looking a little deeper. 👀
Here are 5 things I encourage buyers to pay attention to when touring a home:
🔑 1. The age of the major systems.
A pretty kitchen is great—but knowing the age of the furnace, AC, water heater, roof, plumbing, and electrical can help you understand what expenses may be coming later.
🔑 2. What has actually been updated.
At this home, the plumbing was updated in 2021, the furnace & AC in 2025, the water heater in 2025, and the electrical panel has been updated.
🔑 3. Look beyond cosmetic finishes.
Paint and flooring can be changed. Layout, major systems, lot characteristics, and the overall condition of the home can matter much more.
🔑 4. Think about the cost AFTER you buy.
Your mortgage payment isn’t the only cost of homeownership. Maintenance, utilities, repairs, insurance and taxes should all be part of the conversation.
🔑 5. Ask questions!
An open house isn’t just your chance to see a home—it’s your chance to learn about it. There are no silly questions when you’re considering a $215,000 purchase.
And this Sunday, you can put those tips to work. 😉
Come tour 155 Depot Street from 12–2 PM and see this completely refreshed and remodeled home for yourself.
No appointment necessary—just stop in! 🏡🤍
