Now that my hubby and I are with child, we have been on the hunt for a new house. We stopped looking for a while as everything we looked at that was in our price range needed a lot of work. They were all livable, but extremely outdated. It is hard to imagine maxing out our budget to buy the home and then needing to come up with a ton more money to redo bathrooms, the kitchen, and in some cases add hurricane shutters. We would have to either compromise our choice of neighborhood or our tastes. Neither option was ever going to happen so we stopped looking for a while.
