[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you claim to be compromising but you are stuck on this house. If you strong-arm him into it, he's going to resent you, whether or not his objections are valid. I agree with PPs that you may just have to play this out and let him learn the lesson that when you bid at the top of your budget, you don't get the houses.  Don't get too stuck on this house -- I promise you there is ALWAYS another one. We lost out on 4 houses in N Arlington before we got ours and I am honestly so glad we ended up where we did. It's a learning process for both of you. I think you are making a mistake by being in such a big hurry when you have a year. Yes, I get wanting to get settled, but you also want to make sure you and DH are both happy with the ultimate outcome.[/quote]

Nope, not stuck on this house.  We have 5 more lined up to tour.  I just want him to stay within our originally agreed zipcode boundary.  I want him to realize that something will have to be checked off the must have list.  You cannot expect a big yard, 2000sq ft minimum, finished basement, big kitchen in one single zipcode for under 600k to not be a bidding war.  He doesn't want to do any upgrades at all.  He complained the house I liked didn't have hardwood floors and then immediately sent me another list he liked that was all carpeted but in that same far away zipcode.  He's all over the place.[/quote]
