The most important thing to watch out for when buying a house is the location -- where it is and how convenient it is to the places you need to go.

You should also look for a house with enough space for your needs and make sure that the house does not have an expensive repair list. It's important to check that each room has adequate light, as you want there to be enough natural light coming in so as not to use too much electricity. Have someone in your family come with you if you are unable to do this on your own so they can help spot things like mold or plumbing problems that could cost more money than anticipated down the line.
