I have posted that we are house hunting....Its getting very frustrating...
DH wants 10+ acres and a basement...I want a nice kitchen and at least 4 bdrs/baths and a pool.
We have lost out on 2 houses because we didnt move quickly enough.
There is a house he loves but I like...It has what he wants but its only got 3 bdrms/2 baths on main level but then 2 more bedrooms and a bath in the basement and no pool.
I really wanted more bdrms/baths upstairs...
The price since we first started looking at it has dropped over $50,000.
This is the house we want to be in for the next 30 yrs, the house I want my boys friends to come hang out at and the house I want my grandkids (when I have them) to come stay as well as our Moms.
With this low price we can afford to add the pool and finish out the part of the basement that hasnt been completed and its only 30min from my job.
Part of me feels like this is the way to go but then the other part of me says if I am going to be in this house for so long I should get what I want even if it is more expensive but then we might not have money to put in a pool or finish the basement anytime soon.
I dont want to be house poor but then again I dont want to live in house I dont really love for the next 30 yrs.
Anyone feel like they settled but then later were okay with it?
