make sure your house is out of the flooding zone, and find out the property taxes ahead of time if you can, even try and get the history of the house. You don't want to move in and find that someone was brutally murdered there or if there are people who move in and out quite a bit, that's a sign there is something not right about the house. You can tell when you walk into a house if it feels "homey" or not. We moved somewhere and found out later that someone commited suicide in that house..we didn't stay much longer after that. Don't forget to check out the fuse box to make sure it can hold all your "electrical needs", I had to do that for my job, since I am on the computer at home most days. Make sure it has a basement, preferably dry of course, for possibly storage or heck during tornado season (depending on where you live of course).
Just sit down and think about things that are important to you and write them down. As you look for houses check off what they have and don't have.. good luck.

Location (proximity to what I need and decent neighbors)

accessible (as in ADA accessible)

energy efficient

low maintenance (or easily made to fit that)

solid "bones" (no problems with foundation, for example)

decent yard--esp. side yard. I do not want to be able to lean out my window and shake my neighbor's hand.

efficient, good-sized kitchen

personally want 3-car garage as I store a chunk of my library in it

fenced back yard (my dog must be safe)

price
