🏡 What Is the Final Walk-Through When Buying a Home?
The final walk-through is a buyer’s last opportunity to visit the property before closing. In Vermont, the contract states up to 24 hours prior to the scheduled closing time.
This isn’t another inspection. Instead, it’s a confirmation step to make sure:
✔️ The home is in the same condition as when you made your offer.
✔️ Any agreed-upon repairs have been completed.
✔️ All included appliances and fixtures are still in place.
✔️ The property has been fully vacated (unless otherwise agreed).
✔️ No new damage has occurred
Think of it as a final check to ensure everything is exactly as expected before ownership officially transfers.
If something isn’t right, it’s much easier to address it before closing than after.
Buying a home is a major milestone, and the final walk-through helps protect that investment and provide peace of mind.
