[quote=sdrealtor]It’s only your dream house if you can afford it. If you cant its someone else’s dream house. Sounds like you might be chasing someone else’s.[/quote]

Love this quote. 🙂

Dude, what’s up with all of this ‘dream house’ nonsense coming from the men?! Are you guys still sad you didn’t get a pony from daddy? Or did you miss out on your dream wedding? Seriously, this board often blames and mocks the women for buying into the dream house mentality but it seems like it goes both ways.

You’re so close to conventional, why don’t you set your sights just the slightest bit lower? You only described this house as “close to perfect”. Maybe “sacrifice” just the slightest bit more and not only would qualifying be easier, you’d actually be stretching yourself a little less thin. That said, the present doesn’t seem like the best time to be stretching oneself.

Also, when you say you’re at 50% of your income, are you talking gross or take home? I understand you’re reluctant to share too much detail, but if it should be the former, then no way you should buy this place. In my opinion, of course.

It’s ~50% of the take home pay after the 401K and HSA savings. The leftover money still comes out above the US medium household income. I guess we should be able to survive on that. We’re your average frugal boring family type and don’t have much expenses outside the basic necessities. Our cable bill is only $14. That should tell you something 🙂
