The roof, the panel, the wiring and the pipes are the things that cost money, and the things a listing almost never shows. Type one number, the year it was built, and I will tell you what to look for and what to ask.
Free. No account. Educational and impartial, not a home inspection.
Or browse every year from 1900 to 2026 and see what is typical for each one.
The year tells you what is typical. Photographs tell you what is actually there. A listing is built to show a house at its best. Add the photos, and Casaroo gives you an impartial read on what is worth a closer look, across the bones (roof, heating, electrical, plumbing) and the appearance (kitchen, bathrooms, finishes). Every flag comes with real prices, so an item that sounds small does not turn into a $12,000 surprise. You walk in with the questions that get you a straight answer. Free.

Get told when it launches →A read on both halves of the home, what the fixes typically cost, and what to ask the agent.
Roof, HVAC, water heater, electrical, plumbing, windows. The systems that cost real money after you move in, and that photos quietly leave out.
"What will this house cost me after I get the keys?"
Kitchen, every bathroom, flooring, fit and finish. How updated it is, and whether you'll enjoy living there, or be renovating on weekends.
"Will I actually love it, or am I about to renovate?"
Anything worth checking comes with what that kind of work typically costs, so an item that sounds small does not turn into a number you never budgeted for.
Every Listing Check ends with the exact things to say at the showing. Read them off your phone. You do not have to know anything about houses to use them.
When the photos leave something out, Casaroo says so instead of guessing. A missing water heater photo is itself worth knowing about.
Casaroo points out what is worth checking. It does not give a verdict on the condition of a home, it cannot clear one, and no flag ever means something is in good shape.
Read this before you rely on anything Casaroo tells you.

When it launches, the Casaroo Walkthrough will guide you station by station as you tour. Snap the electrical panel, the water-heater label, the roofline, under the sink, and Casaroo will read each one on the spot, then give you the same kind of read for that specific home. It will even tell you what is worth photographing, so you do not miss the things that cost real money.
The Listing Check stays free, always, and walking the home will be free too. The paid part is the written read on the home you walked: planned at $29 for one home, or $79 for a House-Hunt Pass covering every home you walk for six months. None of it is live yet, and those prices are a preview of what is planned.
