A buyer's agent notices that several windows in the home have foggy condensation between the double panes. This red flag specifically indicates:

1. A structural shift in the foundation has squeezed and warped the window frames out of alignment.
2. The thermal seals of the windows have failed, meaning they no longer provide proper insulation.
3. The seller has simply been running a humidifier often, which is actually a sign of healthy indoor air.
4. The home was built before 1978 and therefore likely contains lead-based glass panes throughout.
