I agree with the comments that this is not so much an issue with the house but with my husband’s and my expectations and differences. We haven’t lived near either of our families before, and I had a feeling that there might be some issues because our lifestyles are so different than my family’s lifestyle or his family’s. We’ve always lived in very dense urban areas and haven’t owned cars since college (we both grew up in California and then moved), while my family is SUV-driving, suburban stock and his is truck-driving rural stock! Still, I do like the coastal areas because I grew up near the beach but I am concerned that we would never be able to find a “unique” house in our price range on the coast.

FormerSanDiegan, so funny! I guess I am breaking all the rules. 😉 As an update to this thread, I am getting repeated emails from my family about gated communities in North County! Gated communities aren’t right for my husband and I, and that I know for sure, but it is still stressing me out to receive these emails!

I was thinking this too, lol! Sdrealtor, are you the listing agent? You mentioned that the listing agent for the property is a really great guy and then you happen to go to NH and check out the property. I wonder if I should have posted this? It was probably too much info!

Anyway, I am really happy about all the helpful responses people have posted.

Scarlett, I do worry about what you mention. Mainly, that I will get into the house and will JUST have had the baby…and I will know what my family has said, and they will all be coming by to see the baby and I might feel anxious about what they are thinking about the house. Although, I am sure when we have a baby we will not think about the house that much.

I am not sure if I am in love with the house or not, at this point I am so exhausted with the whole house-buying and baby-making process that I don’t really care, I just want to get something done! I might have been in love with the house but we had to negotiate for several months and now I am just tired! My husband says we will regret it if we don’t go through with it.
