Buying in New Tecumseth in July — What To Watch For
If you're buying in New Tecumseth this July, here's what Aamir will be checking:
AC performance and efficiency
Inspector checks: Temperature differential test, refrigerant line inspection, condenser coil condition
AC systems reveal problems under peak load — weak cooling now means failure in a heat wave
Attic ventilation and heat buildup
Inspector checks: Attic temperature reading, soffit and ridge vent inspection
Poor ventilation traps heat — accelerates roof aging and drives up cooling costs
Exterior grading and drainage
Inspector checks: Grade slope measurement, downspout extension check, swale inspection
Summer storms reveal drainage problems — water pooling against foundation causes long-term damage
Deck and exterior deterioration
Inspector checks: Deck joist inspection, railing stability test, ledger board connection
Summer is when deck failures happen — rotted joists and loose railings are safety hazards

At an average price of $997,521, a $349 inspection can identify $10,000–$50,000 in issues before you close. In New Tecumseth's market, that's negotiating power — or the confidence to walk away.
