Bottom line, you're not looking hard enough, or you want too much.[/quote]

Wanting too much?  Have you taken a look around?  I basically want an average home in one of several zip codes.  This house is ho-hum in my opinion, I MUCH prefer the new open floorplans with few walls with the living/eating area all connected. [/quote]
OP, I am looking in the 1.2 range. There are a lot of houses, but they are not close in. Or if close in, not new, or even newish. I think some of those recommendations are tear downs, meaning even more expensive. (Tear down, rebuild $$$) You just want too much from life! :)[/quote]

This is precisely why I want to look above 1.2!  Spouse wants certain things, I want certain things- to get them all we need to focus on a particular price range.  He just doesn't get it!  I don't want him to compromise on what he requires, nor do I want to do it myself.  Convincing him what we can "afford" is a whole different animal.[/quote]
