Video tours have exploded in popularity in 2020. And for good reason! Video tours are a great alternative for buyers who are unable to tour properties in person (for example, buyers who are looking for a home in a different state or who have safety concerns due to COVID).
But while video tours can definitely take the place of an in-person tour, if you really want to get a detailed look at the condition of the property, you need to know what to ask your agent to focus on—and that includes in the living room.
A recent article from a realtor.com outlined some of the living room details that could prove tough to spot during a video tour (details you’ll definitely want to ask your agent for a closer look at), including:
The living room is one of the most important spaces to scrutinize when you're house hunting. After all, that's where you'll unwind after a long day, share laughs with friends when you host game night, or find solace in a good book, curled up next to the fireplace.
But riddle us this: How can you fully inspect the living room when you're not even there?
As the COVID-19 pandemic has trudged on, virtual and video home tours have become crucial to home buyers. Technology allows us to feel like we're actually there. But there are some drawbacks—you won't notice a bad odor or noisy neighbors through a video screen, for instance. No, to get a complete picture of the space you're looking to drop a down payment on, you need to rely on your agent to be your eyes, nose, and ears.
The Takeaway:
Bottom line? If you’re using video to tour a potential property, it’s important to know what details tend to get missed on video tours—then ask your agent to zoom in on those details so you can get a better look and make a more informed decision about whether the home is the right fit for you. And that includes details in the living room!
