I never tire of writing how tedious, frustrating and emotionally draining the home buying process has been. In my home buying search, I have attended about a hundred open houses and viewings. Some I really liked (the new built in Bedstuy but was out of my price range), some were awful (the home that reeked of cat urine) and others fell somewhere in the middle. I've been seriously looking for a home for about a year. I can honestly say that I have seen it all. I had a pretty good sense of what I liked, what I could afford and what were deal breakers. By attending these open houses I was able to focus my search and I learned that there isn't a perfect home.I learned that term that is so often mentioned on Property Virgins and My First Place, compromise. I thought It would be fun to share some of my open house pictures to show what you get for your money in New York. It's astounding to me that in Georgia you can buy a 3 to 4 bedroom home with a basement and large lot space...
