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.

Thanks for all of the comments! Regarding my personal feelings towards the house — well, initially I liked it. Then I started to think about all of the impractical things about it, mainly the layout and the schools in the neighborhood. Also, the finishes in the house aren’t “perfect”. (Meaning, eventually I would like to redo the bathrooms and paint the house and change the trim.) My husband never thinks about the practical side of things, lol! My husband really loves the house. My family feels that it is really expensive, and they don’t see the appeal of living in the urban neighborhoods. They think we could get more for our money and find a more practical house in the suburbs. I was really shocked when my family had the negative reaction to the house. I thought they would walk in and be really excited about the “uniqueness” of the house, but instead they were opnely negative and it really shook my confidence. The problem is that I don’t know what I want anymore, I am sick of thinking about house buying and want to focus on getting this baby out and into the world!

Thanks for your response, sdrealtor! Yes, my family is from San Diego. For my family, suburbs and family is the most important thing. They kept saying how we could get such a better house in Carlsbad or 4S Ranch or Rancho Bernardo for that price. It is true, for that price we would have a lot of options in the suburbs, and I have struggled with that — but my husband just will not accept a “standard” house! So, that really limits our choices. And, I am having sticker shock myself because we were initially looking in the 6-650K range.

Thanks everyone for posting all of these comments. I am in the same situation as the original poster (in escrow on my first home purchase) and I am questioning everything! I feel like I am going to have a heart attack or something. I guess that feeling is normal?
