🏡 BEFORE YOU TOUR A HOME, CHECK THESE 5 THINGS

House hunting is exciting—but don’t let the pretty kitchen distract you from the things that really matter.

Before you fall in love with a house, check:

🔎 1. The neighborhood
Drive through at different times of day. What feels great at 2 p.m. may feel very different at 8 p.m.

💧 2. Signs of water problems
Look around ceilings, windows, baseboards, and under sinks for stains, bubbling paint, or musty smells.

💡 3. The big-ticket systems
Ask about the age of the roof, HVAC, water heater, and other major components.

📱 4. Your phone signal
It sounds silly… until you move in and realize your phone barely works. 😂

🚗 5. The commute
Actually drive the route during the time you'd normally be heading to work or school.

What’s one thing YOU would add to this list? 👇

🎨 Behr just announced its 2027 Color of the Year.

Meet Grounded — a rich, mossy olive green inspired by nature. 🌿

After years of light neutrals and airy whites dominating home design, deeper, more expressive colors are making a comeback.

Grounded brings warmth, depth, and a cozy feel to a space without being overwhelming.
It can work beautifully as a wall color, kitchen cabinet color, or even a small accent piece. And it pairs especially well with warm neutrals, earthy tones, wood, and metal accents.

Would you use Grounded in your home?
