[quote=Anonymous]OP here again.  I'm totally doom and gloom and admit that, but we aren't looking at dumps.  The house I like is 3000sq ft with a ton of room and the only issue is that he feels there's not enough counter space in the kitchen.  The room itself is big so we could easily extend the counters in a few years.  The house is a steal.   Like I said, I'm flexible.  I am planning to telecommute one day a week after we move.  I told him that we could move further out if he would be willing to telecommute one day a week as well.  In that scenario, I'd only be stressed over picking up the kids 3 days a week.  He won't telecommute.  I'm not confident that we will ever agree on anything if I'm the one doing all of the compromising.  He is normally very easy going but scared of big changes so I think he's holding out for something that is unlikely to ever surface.  He's looking at polished houses at the top of our budget which doesn't leave us with a lot of room if it came to multiple offers.

We do have a year but we are competing with desperate people now that are aggressively bidding and waiving contingencies so our timeframe doesn't matter.  The longer we wait, the worse it will be because we will become desperate if we wait until next Spring.

I'd prefer to have a year to settle into a neighborhood before my kids start school.  I don't want to be rushed into finding mediocre childcare and I will be the one doing all of that, not him.[/quote]
