Local real estate context
With a median year built around Built 1975 median and a median home value near $345,000, Hastings sits in a price band where hidden defects — a failing sewer lateral, a compressed attic insulation package, a furnace quietly nearing end-of-life — can move the number on a negotiation significantly. That's why we spend the full 2–3 hours on-site in Hastings and document everything with photo and FLIR evidence you can take back to the table.
