I agree that priorities change w/ kids. Neighborhood used to be #3, but now it’s grown to #1. And for me, school district is probably the biggest component of neighborhood.
After that is house. Not so much sqft but layout for our needs, especially since I work out of the house and need a “quiet place” to avoid unnecessary bloodshed when the kids are home.
Third would be price, and then view.
Probably overly practical, but hey, maybe once the kids are grown “view” will get to move up!
And since I’m waiting and watching the market from the other coast, I’m hoping that delayed gratification in this market will be rewarded!
