My husband and I bought our first home in April of 2007, and it was a nightmare. We looked at over 60 homes in the area we liked. They were all too small, too expensive, or too dirty. We had one deal fall through due to poor maintenance. We were living with my in-laws at the time and as you could imagine, I wanted out. We picked the next house we looked at, which ironically, was also the first house we looked at. The house we purchased was everything I did NOT want in a house; cookie cutter neighborhood, vaulted ceilings, no screen porch (we live in FL, this is a necessity), and it was straight out of 1987. Lucky, the house had no major problems; everything that needed to be done was cosmetic. Still to this day I do not care much for our house. I have tried to make it my own by changing light fixtures, flooring, and even a new kitchen. I am ready to move on, even though we are probably stuck here for quite some time due to the market. For our next house, I don't care if we look at 400 houses; I now know what I really want. Buying a home really is one of the most stressful moments you will ever encounter.
