Identify HOAs, any Mello-Roos/CFDs, and effective tax rates. Check quotes for roof/age and any relevant fire/wind exposure.

Ask for neighborhood-level days on market, list-to-sale ratio, and months of inventory. Compare renovation quality, maintenance history, and energy/utility efficiency. Shortlist what matters to you (coffee, weekend markets, trailheads, dog parks). Then verify proximity for your top three homes in each city. Tour 3 homes across different price tiers and proximities to core amenities. Curb appeal (1–5), interior flow (1–5), noise (1–5), cost to fix top 3 items. Debrief and update top-two list.

Tour 3 homes emphasizing lot size and finish-quality trade-offs. Rank all six; flag two backups. Return for an evening pass on the top pick to check activity and parking. Offer early, tighten timelines you can meet, strong EMD, appraisal gap plan, and targeted inspection requests for health/safety only. Ask for credits toward buydown/repairs, extend inspection window if needed, and include repair caps.
