1. The House Embraces Upon Entering: Within the first three seconds of entering your potential new home, does it feel warm and comforting? Does the house speak to you and your family? Does it feel welcoming and inviting? Does it feel like this investment feels... right? These are the deciding factors that make a house, a home.


2. You Are Eager to Go Inside the House: One of many exciting factors of looking at homes is getting excited when pulling up to the curb. If the surrounding houses look and feel better than the house you are about to view, then it could be a sign not to purchase the house. You should feel as if the house you are about to view is the most perfect house on this planet.


3. You Don’t Feel Funny in the Bathroom: Sometimes potential buyers don’t feel comfortable near the bathrooms, to the point where they won’t walk into the room and let their feet touch that bathroom floor. If you can walk into the bathroom feeling untouchable and open the shower door or stroke the vanity mirror, this is your house.


4. You Begin to Envision Furniture Arrangement: If you walk into the living room and immediately begin to envision where your couch and TV will go, this might be your house. Or if you think about which window the Christmas tree will be in front of, you’re already hooked.


5. This House Fits Your Basic Needs: The home might not hit every bullet point on your list, but it definitely meets the basic needs you are looking for. The home has the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms, in addition, the home might not have a garage. But maybe all of a sudden you envision yourself building a garage. Being flexible on these issues are deal-killers is what will make or break your decisions.
