NAR provided some interesting data recently. This chart shows the change in home sizes over the last several decades. Remember back in 2010 the claim was the Mc Mansions were fadding out. In 2019 it was smaller "cottage" homes were taking over.

If this chart proves nothing else, it shows that the above claims were bunk. And NO COVID did not really change it either.

One last thing you may want to consider that this chart hints at.... We have all heard lots of press, bandwidth, ink and airspace about house prices and how they compare to the 50, 60 , 70 , 80, 90 and 2000; but when you compare averages or median costs of smaller houses with larger houses you price should show an increase naturally. Add in the 5+ bedroom homes and it gets worse.

Want to argue with this chart, drive around where you live and look at the majority of the homes built since 2000. Reality may not be pretty but it is pretty accurate.

Thinking of buying or selling a home?

Home inspections protect you when you are the buyer or seller. They establish a baseline for the home's condition and provide notice to both parties. Even though they are mostly a visable inspection and not a truly operational inspection, they still provide knowledge to the buyer and protection to the seller.

They also provide a valuable negotiating tool.

That being said, what are the most common problem areas found in inspections?
1) 19.7% show roof issues
2) 18.7% show electrical issues
3) 18.4% show Window Issues

Any issues that have bothered you in home inspections?

Information is valuable to you as a buyer or seller. A professional, knowledgeable and dedicated real estate professional key to your success. If you do not have one, contact us we have several.
