Beyond pulling out your compass, or checking the time of day and squinting at the sky, might you be curious about where the sun will be in relation to your new house?

LightTrac is a mobile app that I have been using for the last year or so that helps you to explore this very question.  With LightTrac, you can type in any address and then see the angle at which the sun will rise (yellow line above) and set (blue line above) and you can check the angle of the sun at any time between sunrise and sunset (red line above).

Better yet, however, you can adjust the date --- so you can see where you will have sunlight during different seasons of the year.

If direct sunlight matters to you, consider downloading LightTrac to best understand the directionality of the sun as it relates to the home you might purchase.
