What to look for when touring homes?

Unless you’re designing it yourself, the chances of finding a home that matches your criteria exactly are slim. Many buyers are impressed by the sizzle (décor, paint colors, furniture, etc.) and miss the steak (roof, plumbing, electrical, etc.)-expensive items to replace or repair. Maintaining a healthy amount of perspective regarding trivial must have vs the major ones while viewing a home will go a long way towards making sound decisions.
