Whatever you choose is fine, however, I must agree with your husband. Making a half million dollar purchase plus or minus is not something to take lightly. There are many many things that can attract or annoy you to a certain property. Our realtor Kathy Collins was very patient while we took 6 months and several visits to decide. We don't enjoy moving, and the standing joke of "well you'll likely own 3-5 homes at the villages before leaving earth" is not anything we would subscribe to. After 7 years here we know know too many people who were not happy once moved in. Some have invested hundreds of thousands in landscaping and upgrades only to decide they hate their lot. We can't imagine many of them did not take a loss on the resale especially with commissions and closing costs. As I said, whatever you are comfortable with, however. Ron
