What to write down at an open home in New Zealand
When you view multiple properties in a short period, it gets hard to remember what actually stood out from each one.
One house feels warm and tidy. Another has a better layout. Another might look good at first but has obvious work needed once you slow down and think about it properly.
That is why it helps to write down the same key things at every open home.
A good first-pass open home check should include:
the property address and key details
price indication and sale method
first impression
layout and natural light
general condition
obvious renovation or maintenance issues
key positives
key concerns
any deal breakers
whether it is worth a second look
This does not replace proper due diligence. It will not tell you whether a property is definitely good or bad. But it does help you compare homes more clearly and stop relying on memory alone.
That matters because after three or four open homes, the details start blending together.
The goal of a scorecard like this is simple:
capture the important details while they are still fresh, then make a clearer decision about which properties are worth following up.
If you are serious about buying, investing, or renovating, having a practical first-pass system can save time and help you avoid getting distracted by presentation alone.
