Area contains primarily single-family homes (rather than apartments?)

Are surrounding neighborhoods comparable (of equal or greater value to this one?)

Power Lines (are they a safe distance away, rather than near or adjacent to the home?)

Surrounding Properties (are they residential/preferred or does commercially zoned property share your property line, create an unappealing view, near a retention pond?)

Neighborhood Position (is this home inside the neighborhood, rather than one of the first ones as you turn into the neighborhood?)

Does this home fall under a homeowners association?

Is this property free from any known or pending changes that will negatively affect your property values (for example - road widening or school zoning changes?)

Outside

Trees (in good shape -- not weak or threatening house?)

Street (is the home on a quiet street, Cul-de-sac, or dead end street?)

Property (Is it located on level ground, rather than high on a steep hill or downhill from the street?)

Yard (Is it an appropriate size for your family, is it comparable to other homes in the neighborhood?)

Exterior (is it attractive?)

View from the property (is it enjoyable?)

Water

Gutters (good condition?)
