How Can You Tell If a Home Has Hard Water? 

Hard water isn’t a dealbreaker, but it can mean extra maintenance and costs. Look for these signs when touring a home:

Stains in sinks & toilets – Mineral buildup leaves reddish, gray, or white marks.
Cloudy shower doors – Thick soap scum is a major red flag.
Spotty dishes – White spots = calcium deposits.
Dull, stiff laundry – Hard water traps detergent, leaving clothes less fresh.
Worn-out appliances – Mineral buildup shortens their lifespan.

If you love the house, and hard water is your concern. Do not worry, you can install a water softener. Water softeners can range from $400 to $3,000.When considering a home, ask about the water quality and check if a water softener has already been installed! #HomeBuyingTips
