The Forgotten Home-Tour Test: Stop and Listen
Most home tours are busy.
Buyers talk with their real estate professional, open doors, admire finishes and move quickly from room to room.
That can make it easy to overlook something you will experience every day after moving in:sound.
Before leaving a serious contender, take a quiet moment.
Listen inside the primary bedroom and main living area. Then step outdoors.
What do you notice?
The answer isn’t automatically positive or negative. Buyers have very different tolerances and preferences.
Martha’s Tip
When possible, consider how the surroundings may vary at different times.
A quiet midday environment may differ during commuting hours or when nearby activities are underway.
The objective isn’t to eliminate every sound. It is to understand the environment well enough to decide whether it fits your lifestyle.
