Here We Discuss Wacky Reasons for Buying/Not Buying a House
Hubby and I are starting to look for a new house so I was wondering what things might not necessarily clinch the deal but worth considering.
For me...no middle support beam holding the garage door up. I want clear space when I pull in.
Easy out of the subdivision, i.e., preferably right hand turns and red lights/stop signs so I don't have to wait 20 minutes for some kind soul to let me out to turn left.
I hate my "builder beige" so I'd love a house with "my colors" already on the walls.
We picked our place after driving by at 2am and noticing that nobody was actually selling crack in the yard. I'm kind of not kidding.

I picked mine because it had a great "desirable" zip code. And, a few things really really cinched it for me. 1) my phone number which I love was transferable to my new address as opposed to getting a new one, 2) the carpet went with my couch almost perfectly, and 3) the bathtub was one of those that wasn't the slippery kind. I don't know what the term/material of the ones that I hate but my tub wasn't it.

I'm just semi-looking for a new house, but I don't especially like those that have the clothes closets in the bathroom. It's probably handy, but I just think blah when I see that.
Also, it's "out in the country", but still only 5 minutes from shopping.
