There are three surefire ways to know you've found the right home:

1. Find the neighborhood that fits your needs: It should match up with what you're looking for. I always say that the right home in the wrong neighborhood is still the wrong home. Try spending a little time before or after the home showing in the neighborhood to make sure it has all the things you're looking for.

If the floor plan doesn't fit your lifestyle, it's not the right house for you.

2. The floor plan fits: It can show well and have a lot of the amenities you're looking for, but if the floor plan doesn't fit your lifestyle, it's not the right house for you. You should walk through and try to see yourself living there.

3. Rank the house from one to 10: This is an unscientific, informal way to look at things, but I like to have a ranking system with one being "Why did you bring me to this house?" to 10 being "I'm ready to move in tomorrow!" If you rank the home anywhere above seven, it's likely you've found a strong house.
