How to read a house after dark
What the evening shows you about a house that a noon showing never will.
By Isabel Moreau, Estate Advisor
Most showings happen at midday. Most living happens at night. Visit the house you are considering twice.
Look at the light
Notice which rooms glow and which go flat. Warm, layered lighting is easy to add; a room that depends on daylight is not.
Listen
Traffic, neighbors and the house itself all sound different after dark.
