Obviously you are checking this house during the day when the outdoor temperature has warmed up slightly, but the interior of the house is still cool from lower overnight temperatures.

The excess moisture is a result of high relative humidity which is indicated by frost on the exterior of the windows. Condensation occurs when moisture laden air is cooled below the DEW POINT. You noted an outdoor temp of 62degF with an interior temp of 58-59degF which would indicate that the ambient air is at an extremely high humidity (saturated air) where even a slight drop is causing precipitation in the form of condensate or "Dew Drops" on the exterior of the windows.

This is a totally unavoidable occurrence unless you provide minimal heat in the structure.

Heres another example, although it was raining outside and the windows were shut, I went there last night only to find it very humid in the house, the concrete fireplace hearth looked wet, and things in the house were sticky to the touch, from the humidity.
obviously the humidity brigs out the stinkiness.
I am wondering if the attic ventilation could have anything to do with this, this house only has gable end vents. maybe it needs to be better vented?? how could I find these things out? obviously if I call a roofer he will say yes, if I call an insulation person they will sell me some insulation theory, etc, I really need to figure this out, because I am thinking of not even moving in a nd selling this house. any help is appreciated.

Run a dehumidifier in the house, and the heat, too, if needed, to keep the dehumidifier from freezing up.

I'm wondering if this is a common problem with ranch houses. I grew up in a ranch built in 1960. Had the same exact problem. Never could resolve it.
