Ways House Hunting Will Test Your Relationship
The appreciation vs quality of life issue
You’ll likely need to decide between buying a place you love now (including the neighborhood) or buying a lower-priced place in an up and coming neighborhood, that hasn’t come up yet. It’s very rare you get both. You may feel quite differently about this, with one person feeling very strongly about buying a shabby place that will increase in value over the years, and the other refusing to live in a neighborhood she less than loves. It’s one thing men and women usually don’t see eye to on eye when buying a house.
