I'm not much of a "numbers person" but do watch the ads and the appreciation on homes listed here. We bought our house (it's a cottage series...so not large) in early 2009. The market had dropped and they were offering homes at a really good price. Ours was finished in late 2008 but was "bare bones". We had to supply blinds, garage door opener, towel bars and ceiling fans but felt for a couple of "K" we could purchase and do all that ourselves. The price on the house was mid 100's. NOW the same (from what I can ascertain) is at least 100k more if we were to sell, when I see the comps. Don't over-think it or you'll never move ahead. Find something your budget can allow and go with it.
