House Hunting Hell

The last 3 months have been crazy! I never thought looking for homes would be so difficult. Maybe because me and him are both very specific and particular about what we want. But isn't that what everyone is? So we have been on the search for our perfect home to start a family and our lives together in. Since we are very future thinking, our goal is a 4 bedroom home at least with an open floor plan to entertain, and modern upgrades. We would even settle for no upgrades and do it ourselves if the price was right. Sounds easy enough right? That's what I thought, until 3 months into our search and very few to choose from. At least the economy is bouncing back up. Seems like every time there is a potential home, there's always something that goes wrong.  *Le Sigh*
Our search continues, but lucky for us we do have some time if we really needed to. We wanted to move sooner than later but there is no real rush for us to move as the house we are in now is fine, for now at least.
Another option was building our own. So lately we have been setting out to look for land/lots that would be big enough to accommodate at least 2400 square feet with a backyard for our puppies. Decisions, decisions.
