[quote=Anonymous]I'm glad we waited to find/afford a house we really wanted to be in. I loved living downtown and loved the condo building and neighborhood we were in, but dh wanted more space so I agreed to take the leap as long as it overall felt like an upgrade.

He was getting impatient with me that I kept vetoing so many houses that he thought sounded ok (weird layout, ugly view/houses out the windows, too far from transit, etc), but he ended up being so happy that we held out because we found a perfect-for-us place. It was a decent price, beautiful setting, nice neighborhood, still around a bunch of amenities and public transportation, great neighbors, and the houses around it are also pretty.

For as much as I loved where we lived, it really has been an amazing move. I'm glad we waited to get our perfect-for-us house, and I also fully recognize that we were lucky to be able to buy at all. But because really any house is so expensive, I didn't want to have to pay that much money for something I didn't love.

Whatever your particular needs/metrics are, I vote with holding out for something that you will be glad you bought.[/quote]
