Wondering what a final walk through is or what to look for in a walk through? A final walk through is the very last step of the process before you close on a home. In simple terms, it is a verification that the home is how you want it. Checking that all the repairs they said are done are actually done and done properly. Making sure that no new issues have occurred.
Once you make an offer on a home and the offer is accepted, a home inspection 
will happen. An inspector will come out and look closely at the whole home including the roof, HVAC, etc. He will then create a report of all the findings and conclude with a list of recommended repairs or items that may need replacing. The buyers will go through this list and choose the items they feel is necessary to be fixed before they purchase the home. Negotiations will occur and will end with a signed repair addendum by both the buyers and sellers.
Before closing, it is the seller’s responsibility to get fixed whatever was on that list. The final walk through is your chance to verify that everything was fixed to your standards. If you feel confident that everything was done, you can also waive the final walk through.
It is recommended that buyers do a final walk through because there may have been other incidents that could have occurred after a home inspection. For example, let’s say the sellers were trying to be nice and fixed up some marks on the wall with paint. Well often times paint may dry a slightly different color than the wall so now you have off colored blotches throughout the home. By doing a walk through, the buyer can pinpoint these types of errors and have the seller fix this before the sale.
However, a walk through is not the time to negotiate new repairs to be made. It is simply a confirmation that the home is in the condition you agreed to buy it in. Anything that may occur after a home inspection and was not in the inspection report may be brought up such as the paint example above. If the buyers did not state they wanted the paint fixed, then it would be the seller’s job to fix it.
A few other things to look out for during a final walk through is to turn on all the
lights and make sure they work. Run all the faucets and make sure they work, that there are no leaks and they drain properly. Flush each toilet to ensure they run correctly. Verify that all the appliances that the contract stated would be there are and that they all run properly. Open all doors and windows to see if they shut correctly. Check the heat, air, garage door opener and doorbell. Lastly, make sure there is not any debris left in the home.

Are you thinking about refinancing or wondering what the benefits might be to refinance? The many reasons people refinance their loans are to get a lower interest rate, covert from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage, or vice versa, shorten the term on the mortgage, tap into the home’s equity to finance a larger purchase, and the desire to consolidate debt. The sole purpose is to save money, but this is not necessarily always the case. Refinancing does not come free and has many costs associated with it, so doing your research and determining if refinancing is truly a benefit is vital.
fixed rate of a 170K loan equals out to be more than $500 in interest each month! That $500 is solely interest, nothing to do with an actual house payment. Todays rates are typically in the 4-5% rates, so imagine the interest. If you see that the rates are dropping and get to the point where the interest rate is at least 1% lower than your rate, it might be a wise decision to refinance.
months. If you believe you have a decent rate, it’s advised to go with a fixed-rate mortgage because you never know when the rates might increase. On the other hand, an ARM could decrease, increase or stay the same each month. People who choose this option typically don’t plan to stay in the home for very long and use this option because the rates tend to be lower than a fixed-rate. If you had chosen ARM and ended up staying at the property longer than you thought and the rate is a lot higher than the current fixed-rate, it may be wise for you to refinance to a fixed-rate.
current interest rate is lower than your original rate. There is another way to shorten your mortgage without having to refinance and paying all the fees. It is simply where you prepay your mortgage. Each month instead of paying that $900 where only a few hundred goes to principle, pay $1500 or whatever extra you can afford. That extra money you put in goes just towards principle. You might not think it will make a big difference, but a little bit more each month will add up overtime and save you a large sum on interest.
