What to check before you buy
- The age behind the remodel. With a median build year of 1961, ask about the roof, the sewer line, the plumbing and the electrical panel. A sewer scope is cheap insurance.
- Remodel quality. Two homes on the same street can sell far apart per square foot. Compare a remodel against original-condition sales before you write an offer.
- Flood zone. Homes near the Indian Bend Wash greenbelt can sit in a flood zone, which affects insurance. Check the address before you fall in love with it.
