OP here.  Because he's an idiot.

This house actually has a lot of issues we will need to spend money to fix.   
There was another house that was perfectly fine, but my husband thought it was priced about $20,000 too high (this is not in the DC area--this "other house" was priced around $230,000, my husband wanted to pay $210.)   Those sellers wouldn't budge on the price.

So now we are buying a different house (about $140,000) but it is not nearly as nice as the other house.   There are a lot of problems we will have to fix.    We will probably end up spending way more for a much smaller house (literally about half the size--and exact same neighborhood, literally just one street over.)
He's being penny wise and pound foolish.[/quote]

Wow. This is a very bad idea. Fixer uppers always have more problems than it seems at first. Only handy people with common sense should buy one. [/quote]
