House Hunting

I'm a big fan of HGTV. Property Virgins is my favorite, but I could really just sit around and watch it for hours straight - I find it interesting. On Property Virgins, one of the the things they always talk about it combining the individual tastes of each person in order to find the 'perfect house.' They always make it look SO freakin' easy! Jon & I are house hunting right now, and are both first-timers at it. Unfortunately, we both have VERY different ideas of what we both want, which is making it extremely hard to even get through the house-hunting phase of it. We are both extremely stubborn, and both thing what we want is, uh, obviously the best. (duh.) For example - he wants a better house -- more bang for his buck, if you will -- and is willing to be open to not as nice neighborhoods to get it, whereas I think we can get a decent house that's not huge (there are only two of us!) in the neighborhood we want. The problem is that neither of us is WRONG, but neither of us is RIGHT.... it's strictly preference. And it's frustrating.
