• How long has the owner kept the house? Is he/she the first owner or second/third? 

This question might give you a hint of why the owner is selling the house if he/she hasn’t answered the first question properly. The number of owners can also describe the flaws that might be there in the house, and because of those flaws, many owners sell this house for sale after buying it.
