Using the Five Senses to Find Your Dream Home

Your sense of sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste can provide you with a wealth of information during your property search.

Sight

Look closely at the local area, street cleanliness and landscaping. Once inside the property, take note of the level of natural light.

Smell

While pleasant aromas can influence buyers positively, the smell of pets or cigarettes can be a turn-off. But remember, these scents are easily remedied once you move in.

Hearing

Noise levels in and around the property can impact your living experience. Listen for traffic, neighbours and any potential disturbances.

Touch

Take note of the materials used for countertops and flooring. During viewings, touch surfaces to assess their quality and condition.

Taste

While taste might not directly apply to home buying, the kitchen’s design can influence it. This space should feel functional and inviting.
