Prospective buyers need to get as much information as they can about a house they’re considering. An open house offers one of the best opportunities to sniff around, listen to other potential buyers and explore everything that the home has to offer, but also to ply the agent with any questions you might have.
Here are some basic questions to ask the host agent :
How long has the home been on the market?
Has the asking priced changed?
What issues does the house have?
What do the utility bills run?
Why are the owners selling?
What are recent comparable sales?
Does the property come with any special assessments or homeowner association fees?
What stays with the home?
What can you tell me about the neighborhood?
