While a home inspector is a good idea for making sure your prospective home is structurally stable and sound, there are some things that he doesn't examine that might be a source of extra expense or annoyance later. Many of these ideas only take a couple minutes, but they could mean the difference between your dream home and one out of which you can't wait to move.

When you are walking around a potential house, put your hands next to the window seams and see if you can feel a draft. Poorly insulated windows and insufficient insulation throughout the house are a major energy drain and will cause your electric bills to be significantly higher. Adding insulation and replacing old windows can be a costly renovation. At the very least, drafty windows could be a bargaining chip for a better price on the house you are interested in.

The fact is though, that many different types of people buy homes and that any area in particular generally has a variation in the types of homes that it contains.

Buying a home can be a scary process if you've never done it before but the benefits certainly outweigh the initial fears you may have about the idea of home ownership.
