It's really easy to get distracted by a gorgeous kitchen or perfectly staged living room when you're touring a house.
But you're not buying the staging.
Pay attention to the things that will affect what it's actually like to live there.
Open the closets. Look out the windows. Listen for noise. Think about where your stuff would go. Walk through the normal parts of your day in your head.
Sometimes the little things tell you more about a house than the impressive things do.
