When we were house hunting, we looked at kitchen (especially appliances), bathrooms, floors, windows, heat pump, and yard. I liked houses that looked homey, but some were just so cluttered that all I could think about was the amount of stuff people had in them. We have a ton of stuff in our house now, but when we go to sell, we're taking a lot and putting it in storage to make the house clutter-free. I also remember liking the houses that smelled like baked goods (definitely not a deal-maker or breaker, but it made it seem homier to have the scent of apple pie or cookies).

If you're painting, go for neutrals, but I wouldn't make a special effort to paint unless you have bold colors or bad walls.

When we look for a house in the future, I know we're definitely looking at storage space. Our little 1918 house didn't originally have closets, so our closets are teeny additions on the rooms. I need a much bigger closet!
