    How many did you look at before making an offer? Was it love at first sight or just ... well, it's a house?

    We looked for about a month and a half before we even saw anything we were interested in. We probably looked at 2o houses before we bid on the one we actually got. Not really love at first sight, but it had most the things we wanted, square footage, fenced in back yard, good school zone, etc so we jumped on it, as did three other bidders.

    When I bought my condo, I bought because of location and little else. I looked at a couple houses and figured in the costs of remodelling and went with the condo. I got burned on that deal and really want to do it right this time.

    Was the market that tight when you bought?

    All I can say is you'll know the house when you see it.

    Yeah. I know.

    If I can see myself living there, I think it's a good fit. But I often have problems with objective thinking when it involves something I want. So, I'm taking my lesbian to make sure I don't have blinders on.
