We're a bit anxious over what we'll get for our NC house, but at least it's less expensive than what our IL house will cost (1/2). We're in an odd situation, with children, pets and grandparents living with us, we really don't want to rent a house and wait. Ultimately we need to buy reasonably, negotiate hard and plan to live there for a while. Already we've noticed that expensive houses in IL take much longer to sell ($750k and higher).

My fiancee and I will begin looking after we're married this summer, after we return from our honeymoon. We'll be looking in the metro D.C. area for something affordable.
