What fall 2025 buyers are asking

It’s no longer just about square footage and price. Today, fall buyers are asking smarter questions, like: – How old is the roof and HVAC? – What are the average monthly utility costs? – Is there a floor plan or 3D walkthrough available? They’re also reading between the lines. Why? Well, if a listing says “great potential,” they want to know what work is needed. If photos are sparse, they assume the worst. Being transparent and proactive helps your home stand out – especially when buyers have fewer listings to choose from but higher expectations. Have you been surprised by a buyer question recently? 🚩 #sellingstrategy #buyerexpectations #realestate

Hello, Steve. Thank you for this insightful post on buyer expectations!

It's clear that Fall 2025 buyers are definitely doing their homework and asking the smart, crucial questions. You hit the nail on the head: buyers are now focused on long-term costs and condition, not just price.

I agree two of the largest expenditures to be replaced on a home are the roof and HVAC, worth checking out. Jeff

Good morning Steve Houck ,

You are so right. We had a hail storm in our area a year ago and most roofs have been replaced. First question is "has the roof shingles been replaced?
