[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any way forward to compromise on any of this?  I don't want a dream house.  I just want to OWN a house.  [b] But equally important is my son's education, and I think he'd be better off moving from our currently zoned high school (he starts next year).   [/b]He has friends from sports and earlier private school in several other high school clusters, so he won't be friendless if I switch him.[/quote]

Why do you think your son would be better moving from your currently zoned high school?  If everyone agrees, you, DH, and son, it would actually be better to rent in the other zone so you have an option to more easily switch back if it didn’t work out and also so you aren’t tied to buying in an area where you are paying for great schools that your son would only use for four years.

Have you and your DH talked about retirement or where you would live after son is out of high school?  I think if there is a compromise to be had, maybe it’s in where you live after your son graduates - then you aren’t tied to a school cluster.  Also at some point commute won’t be an issue.  You could buy and rent it out and if you aren’t ready to live there yet or if it is a retirement place.  Also that could steer you towards a townhouse versus a SFH or maybe someplace more walkable.[/quote]
