Exciting but stressful :-/ UPDATED
So last Saturday (one week ago today) H and I went into the bank to sit down with someone just to work out stuff like resetting a PIN, getting a new debit card, etc. out of NOWHERE H asks about a prequlifying for a mortgage. My jaw hit the floor. I was excited, but we hadn't talked about it. Our lease is up march 15 at our current apt and we weren't thrilled with the new rates.
Anyway, we prequalified. And since last Saturday we've been house hunting a little. We met with a realtor yesterday (Friday) and he sent us an exhaustive list of everything listed in the area we want. We have to make an offer on something by Monday in order to close in time before our lease is up. I'm excited but so stressed out.
H and I have VERY different decision making techniques. He analyzes the crap out of everything and is so uncomfortable to rule something out. I could have skimmed the list of 60, and quickly narrowed it down to maybe 10, then Read into them and narrow it down again to maybe 5. I've let H go through his process (he spent 5 hours last night making a spreadsheet 25 of the 60 properties) but he wants me to go through it with him, and it's exhausting and overwhelming. Anyway, by the time most of you ladies get back from the weekend we should have already made a decision. Nestie vibes that H and I stay on the same page, please?

UPDATED!!!
So Friday night we poured over 60 listings and narrowed it down to 17. Saturday we drove by all 17 to check out the neighborhoods and see some of them IRL. Honestly, a few were in worse condition than the pictures, so this was very helpful. We narrowed it down to 5 after Saturday and had our realtor show us the inside on Sunday. One of them was occupied and no one answered the door, but it was super small and a short sale so we didn't care we didn't get to see it. So we saw four and two of them really stood out. After H crunched every number he could fathom, and after sleeping on it, we both decided today (Monday) to go with the townhouse across the street from our current apartment. I had three separate dreams about it last night, one where we were entertaining guests there, one where I was cooking in the kitchen there, and one where I was feeding a baby. Maybe these dreams will become déjà vus!
