There are many aspects of a home people sometimes overlook when hunting for their dream home. It’s easy to get blinded by the flash and possible extravagance without noticing the sometimes hidden details that can make all the difference between a nice house and a fantastic home.

|First, take into account the season you're looking in. Depending on your area, touring a house can have differences based on the time of year. For example, if you visit a home with a large front yard in the winter, it may not be a good representation of the yard during other times of the year. You might want to inquire as to what type of growth you can expect come spring and summer. Some properties erupt into fields of color and wonder.|

One of the most coveted aspects for many homebuyers is the presence of storage space. Kitchens and bathrooms can be two of the rooms that can contain the most wow factor if they have been renovated. The jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and double-wide island in the open kitchen design might take your breath away, but wait…
Take a few extra minutes to tear your eyes away and check out the shelf space, pantry availability, anything that would easily turn this beautiful house into a cozy home. Would you and your family have the space you need?

Now, let's discuss the most important aspect to consider: it doesn’t matter how perfect a house may appear to you, if it's not structurally sound, you might want to very strongly reconsider. Keep in mind that minor cosmetic defects can be very easily taken care of, so don’t let these automatically have you count out what might be the perfect home.
Only you can decide which home can be the perfect fit for your family. Always remember that each new tour you take is a brand new opportunity to discover a new world around you. Allow yourself the freedom to fully experience them all.
