[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband sounds like one of the people on HGTV that won't buy a house based on the color of the walls.

People worry about he dumbest things.   Tell your husband that if he doesn't want sump pumps that is fine, just fill in basement with concrete.[/quote]

Op here.   In the end I don't think he really is worried about the sump pump, I think he felt like he couldn't say the place wasn't nice enough for him, so he needed a better excuse to not like it.

I appreciate everyone's reassurances.  It is a stressful process.  Doesn't help that we're doing it from out of town.  I think it's just bringing up a host of issues - dh tends to "catastrophicize" everything, so to him the fact we didn't pick a house this weekend means that we will never find a house and I have trouble making decisions. I just have a hard time talking it through with him when he's working with that attitude. I think we had a really productive weekend where we settled on the area that we're focusing on and communicated our needs to our realtor (who is awesome and has been super helpful).  This is just the part of dh's personality that drives me nuts, and it's so very present right now!!  Kinda glad to hear we're not the only couple who have to struggle our way through the process though - thanks all!![/quote]
