Searching for a new home can be a stressful endeavor, but it doesn't have to be. Today, we're going to talk about the 5 things to look for when viewing a home, so you don't make any costly mistakes when buying this summer.

• Location: Is the house next to a busy street? Is it next to a freeway? What are the schools like? Is traffic congested near your home?
• Size: Are the rooms going to fit all of your furniture? Are they big enough, or are they too big? Make sure there is enough room for all your amenities!
• Windows: These tend to get expensive, so you want to determine whether the windows will need to be upgraded.
• Situation of house: Is your home close to your neighbors? Is the home west facing or east facing? Does the home get much natural light?
• Roof: Like the windows, if the roof needs to be repaired, it will be awfully expensive. Make sure it is in good shape!
