[quote=Anonymous]statistically, given imperfect data of a selection pool you increase your odds of making an optimal choice (for anything) when you forego selecting any of the first 33% of the items you look at. Part of the reason you should look and not buy at first is because it give you a chance to learn the market. After this initial phase; however, you should compare the current item with the last item and select the first one that is better than the last one. Doing this you have a little better than house odds of selecting the most ideal item (house) which is available on the market at that given time.

In short, if you are impatient you stand a greater chance of selecting the wrong house.

Your husbands "wish-list" is growing, in part, because he is learning what is important to him as he sees, visits, and evaluates the past 25 homes. This is not an inherently bad thing your husband is doing.

The trick is to convert the learning phase into the selection phase.

Good luck.[/quote]
