Davis homes

Davis has older homes in the neighborhoods around downtown, plenty of mid-century and later ranch-style homes, and newer developments on the edges of town. As a university town, Davis also has many rental properties, duplexes, and small multi-unit buildings, which often see more wear than owner-occupied homes.

What Matt pays attention to in Davis

• Rental and investment properties. Matt looks for wear and tear, past repairs, and safety items like smoke alarms, GFCI protection, and handrails. Duplexes up to fourplexes can be inspected unit by unit.
• Foundations and drainage. Clay soils are common in parts of the Sacramento Valley and can move with the seasons. Matt notes cracks and drainage that could let water collect near the home.
• Older systems. In older homes, Matt notes visible wiring, plumbing materials, and equipment age so you know what may need updating.
• Summer cooling. Matt tests air conditioning and checks attic insulation and ventilation where accessible.

Inspections for buyers, sellers, and investors

Matt inspects single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes to fourplexes, ADUs, and manufactured homes. Let Matt know if tenants live in the property so access can be arranged ahead of time.
