I have been away for a week, taking a break. We have been considering buying a house and have spent the last 3 weeks or so frantically looking at every house in our price range as well as every new builder in this end of the county. We have seen house you couldn't live in without serious work, mansions with taxes that would cripple you, various stages of construction and houses that are, for lack of a better term, simply unremarkable.
In the process I have managed to repair, repaint and upgrade things around the house that have been hanging out for years (in some cases). We might be putting the house on the market this weekend if we can work out some of the details. So far we haven't got past the "let's talk about it stage" with any of the sellers. The bottom line is that I don't think the perfect house exists (at least not for me). In the meantime I am learning lots about short sales, REO property, Mello Roos and what the current trend in home building is like.
