How Many Houses Should I View Before Purchasing One?

Every buyer is different. Although there is no perfect number of homes to view before purchasing a home, research is key to identifying concerns and saving time. Most home buyers typically view between 15 - 30 homes online or in person before putting in an offer.

Granted, technology has certainly allowed home buyers to look at hundreds of homes in a matter of hours, but we always recommend using a trusted and experienced real estate agent familiar with your local market. On top of arranging appointments, researching comparable properties, conducting research, performing video tours, the agent can be an invaluable resource when formulating the official contracts.

The Bottom Line

In short, you’ll want to view enough homes to truly understand what you’re looking for. Five may be too little but one hundred too many. Trust your instincts and consult with your real estate agent.
