I’ve been in the market for buying a new house now for 8 months and there seems to never be a day where I’m not on Redfin or something! Looking at homes in my price range, but also looking at the nicer homes. Sometimes I feel like I just go and look at the nicely staged homes for future home ideas/interior decorating inspirations and etc.

I grew up in a McMansion or something slightly smaller than it in the Bay Area and at the end of the day I thought and still think the house is way too big for my needs. That said, McModern/Mansion are so nice to look at though. Goal right now is stick to my guns and the advice of Financial Samurai along with all the data I’m seeing and save for a house and buy when the down turn hopefully happens.

This is hilarious! I know how you feel…we were actually looking for a home here in New Jersey for a while and are taking a break. It’s insane how little you get for your money out here; the taxes alone could buy a car (we are talking 18-20k/year). Hard pass. It’s even harder because my husband and I have very different tastes (I like modern, he likes colonial “boxes”…I also looove exposed beams). Besides the usual house buying issues, we also have feng shui considerations. Thus, the pool of buyable houses shrinks further and further.

I like McModerns! I think they look really good, but good point about having a window break on you and then it would be pretty disastrous.

In reply to dopotionseller. It is pretty accurate. I know it doesn't take account into externals like highways and loudness of street.

In reply to NZ Muse. Haha same here. We'll end up with practicality over looks. I can't do much with 6000 sq mansions. I hate cleaning!! :p

In reply to Dr. McFrugal. Oh man I think we have similar taste. Modernish take on the old <3. Because I still like modern bathrooms and modern kitchens. I have stalked every house on sale within an 8 block radius since we've purchased in our neighborhood, that's another topic hahaha.
