Viewing an Open House

Doors and windows:

Check that doors and windows fit snugly in their jambs and operate smoothly. Look for flaked paint and loose caulking. If the wood around windows and doors is not protected from moisture, it can rot away. Feel for drafts in these areas too.

Here are some considerations and common problem areas to look for when touring an open house:
General upkeep
Water leaks
Does it work?
Floors
Doors and windows
Poor drainage
Grout and caulking
Structural
