Naperville Home Issues
Naperville, with a population of over 140,000, is a growing community with just a 28-mile commute east to downtown Chicago. It has award winning schools, a busy downtown and is frequently ranked by Median Money Magazine as one of the three "Best Places to Live" in the United States.
Naperville is a community of relatively new homes and townhomes, many of which are multimillion dollars in value. It includes a gated golf community known as the White Eagle subdivision as well as a group of single family homes and town homes called the Tall Grass subdivision. Both subdivisions serve the housing needs of local professionals as well as those who commute by car or rail into Chicago.
Inspecting Focus
As with residences in Chicago, Naperville residences experience the effects of weather, pests, everyday use and construction changes caused by the homeowner and contractors. All of these factors can lead to problems which can be discovered during a thorough inspection.
Home inspections may be requested by a mortgage lender, a seller before the home is put on the market or a buyer before the loan closes. The inspection typically includes reviews of the home's:
- Electrical and plumbing
- Heating systems
- Air-conditioning systems
- Security appliances such as carbon monoxide and smoke detectors
- Roof, basement and foundation
- Adverse conditions including incidences of lead, mold, asbestos and other conditions
Home Inspections as a Sales Tool
Naperville tends to have a higher medium income and higher home value than many of the surrounding areas. As such, it is important for sellers to be able to show prospective buyers the condition of the property on which they are negotiating. A home inspection report can be a way to validate the value of a home, based on the property condition information provided by a third party: the home inspector.
