We were mainly practical, we wanted 3 bedrooms and 2 living areas. We only inspected our house for 5 minutes, decided it was too nice for us to be able to afford (we'd been looking at some real "renovator's delights" to suit our budget and this house looked awesome compared to them and in a better location). We went ahead and made an offer we didn't think they would take, walked away and didn't think about it again LOL! We knew we were dreaming and moved our thoughts to an auction we were going to bid on the next day. But we were fortunate that the owner was desperate to sell (the house had already been passed in a month before for $30,000 less than what we offered) and we got a call the next morning saying he would take our offer! Talk about lucky!

We actually had to think about what the house looked like inside, etc LOL. But we've been so happy here and had no regrets .

Good luck in your decision!
