Best of luck to you! I wish I could say I know what house-hunting is like, but alas, it won't happen for me in this lifetime, and I've made my peace with that.

The last place sounds intriguing. I've always loved looking at houses. My mother and I did the househunting before my parents bought their current house.

Good luck on your search!

Good luck! i know house hunting is hard and frustrating, but you guys sound like you are doing really well on your own. It's great that you can do so much work on it yourselves, and i hope you find what you are looking for soon! *hug*
