Knowing What to Look For In Sacramento Homes for Sale

Newer Homes In South Sacramento Have a Problem

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working with investors who are focusing on different parts of Sacramento.  Each one of them has different criteria they work with and that takes me all over the region.  Seeing as many homes as I see, you begin to notice patterns in certain areas of the region with either pest damage or constrcution standards as they vary from area to area.

In South Sacramento, I’m noticing that there are a lot of homes built in the early to mid 1990′s that have what appears to be structural damage.  This damage hasn’t been created maliciously but rather seems to evolve over time.  It appears to be more than just normal settling of the foundation or drywall cracks.

I’ve had 2 homes in the area in escrow and seen 3 more of the same age in the same area have the problem that is outlined in this video to a lesser or greater degree.  It’s definitely a RED FLAG!

The key thing is always have whichever home you’re purchasing professionally inspected.  That way you know going in exactly what’s there.  In the long run, it’s a very smart investment.

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day!
