How many houses did you look at before you found the right one?
Or how many have you looked at so far but still haven't found the right one yet? I think maybe our realtor hates when we call because she has showed us so many houses. 
But in our defense we made one offer that fell through and another on a SS that we are still waiting to hear from. So its not like we don't like anything. I think she has shown us about eight or nine houses! Including the two we've made offers on. Is that normal? Lol! She is super nice and doesn't seem to mind but I got to counting them up today and now I feel kinda bad.

Re: How many houses did you look at before you found the right one?
We looked at 8. There was one that he loved (I hated), two that I thought were "ok" (he hated). As soon as we both saw the 8th house, we knew it was the one.
We looked at hundreds and hundreds of online listings.
Visited 10ish open houses.
Toured 3 or 4 with our REA (wanted to visit more but a good half dozen went under contract before we could get in).
H followed signs to a model home on his day off one day, toured it, was impressed. That community was out of our price range but he found two neighborhoods by the same builder we could afford. We visited the model in those neighborhoods, fell in love and signed a contract.
I don't think there is a "normal." It all depends on what's available in your area and price range and how picky or flexible you are with your requirements.

I probably looked at at least 40 or more total. But I went to a lot of open houses. DH and I together, w/ our agent, probably looked at about 20 or 25.
Online- looked at even more!

Everyone welcome.
Online? Hundreds.
Our in person search? One new build, then this house.
Loads online.
Then saw about 7ish re-sell homes over the course of two weekends.
Then we toured a model home, and another model home - and made an offer to build.
"The House We Built."
A journey of building the dream.
Online - hundreds. I too am still looking for the perfect house.
