Right now its is a buyers market ,houses are down .i was thinking of selling mine and downsizing. Since my husband died.i also been looking .when you see it you will know it.just take your time you will find it .
I feel your pain house hunting. My husband and I are getting older and looking to downsize and move from our rural setting into a small town. So far we just cannot find what we want. Good luck in your search.
I think the last house would be perfect for your business if you used the two bedroom side of the house for your u-tube sales production in one bedroom and storage o f inventory in the other. Just a thought.
One I didn't like the entrance. Two small bedrooms. Three lots of little turns small master bath. Four was different. Small garage but large open kitchen. I wasn't taken by any of them. I didn't think they were you.😊
I was a real estate appraiser for 17 years and I’ve seen a lot of homes. I really didn’t care for any of the ones she showed you. They didn’t scream Tammy and David live here. The right home will come along, just don’t settle. You two work well together in your search. That’s refreshing. ♥️♥️
What a fun video to go along with you both for your future home! House 1-no for me House 2- I like it House 3 - so so House 4- hard pass Keeping you both in my prayers as always and I am sure you will find a home you will fall in love with, just will take a little time. ❤ (((big hugs))) to you both!! Jeffrey Postatoes 😂
I'm finding this fascinating. Houses in the US are so-o-o different from in the UK. Size, look, vibe, plot. From what I'm used to, anyway. I don't know what your budget is... Out of interest, I just Googled 'average house price Texas'... A little under $310k, apparently... All I can say is, that's less than half the current value of my little house in the south-east of England (a very expensive part of the country 😬)... Which - from what I could tell - is a fraction of the size of the homes you were looking at. It's a funny old world...! I hope you find something you love. I agree that character and quirkiness are appealing factors in a home! The right one for you is out there, just waiting... ❤
It may take some time Tammy and David to find what you want in a home, but when you see it,and especially what you feel when you walk into it,will make it all worthwhile. It will come to you. 😊❤ I'm sure of it. ❤
This video was fun. Thanks for taking us along. I hope you film on Sunday as well. I thought the kitchen in 2 was very nice. Didn't like number 4 at all. Dreary. A fenced yard for Jack would be nice. You need an older home with nooks and crannies you can fill with treasures!❤
#4 is the only house with personality. Outside was nice too. Also, it was the only place both of you showed any animation in. Maybe ask to see houses similar.
I liked 3 ok, Lots of cabinets plus extra cabinets in laundry room. The office space area looked nice. 😊 these open concept houses were all the rage but I’m with you Tammy I like lots of wall space for placing furniture and wall decor. House 4. Nice but no. Yes, those online descriptions are misleading, I know you will find THE ONE! Just hang in there! I’m glad to see you’re making progress. Praying for you and your family.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. I liked the 4th house out of all of them. It was super cool. Would be great with the guest house to have David's office and a TH-cam room in there, so basically having work at home but not taking it home (in the main part of the house) with you. Could you share what your wish list is?? It's funny, in my 20's I managed a real estate company. The realtors always had this saying (and don't take it wrong), but the saying is "Buyers are liars." Just meaning they can be adamant about wanting certain things, but until you are out in the actual houses and seeing the layout and how a house might really function, you don't know for sure. Like some folks insisting they "have to" have something when in reality they don't necessarily want that or need that when they see it in person. It's an interesting adventure. You're lucky the home prices in Texas are generally lower than where I live. I don't know you price range, but just a 1800 sq ft townhouse duplex here is on the low side $400K. If you want a 2,000 sq ft you're easily paying 750K and up.
Thanks for taking us along. When we purchased our home, it looked larger when empty. Large windows give you less privacy and more expensive to replace, and its hard to place furniture with windows in the way. Having a new roof is a plus as roofs cost 20 to 30 thousand to replace now. We have a 1960 bungalow. Had to replace a lot. I liked the 3 rd ones kitchen and patio. You can decorate a patio With MCM decor. You can make it a sun room. But remember you can make any house your home. The window in the last one concern me. I would have tbe owners address that in your contract with them. Have them replaced.The moisture can cause a mold issue. A lot of work every day to wipe them down. Maybe take a look at a new build, they have creative financing options. Less maintenance and less worry. What ever you pic, try not to look back, No house will be exactly the same as before, it is a new chapter in your life. You are going to have so much fun when you finally find your new home.
I can imagine you guys in a 1940s sprawling rancher or a mid century for Tammy. I hope you find your new place soon, no matter the style! You'll know it when you do! Peace and Blessings 🏡🏠🌳🌻
Hey, guys! My husband and I relocated for retirement to S.C. a year and a half ago. My advice to you is to take your time. We looked up hundreds online. Stay away from the big home builders such as Horton, Lennar or others in your area when buying a newer home. One sign of a not-so-great builder is when there is no or little trim on the windows. It's usually a sign of cutting corners. Check out reviews. Lots of reviews! And we personally do not care for HOAs. Be careful if considering a house with an HOA. I'm sure you know a lot about these tips already. And a huge help is a really good realtor, not one that merely gives you a tour of the property. Enlist a realtor that will point out flaws and possible repairs. And always get an inspection, even on a brand new house. Now go have fun and good luck! ❤ Happy you are well.
I really liked #4 but realize it's not quite right for you guys with that bedroom layout. My heart ached a bit for you when the agent commented about having alot of clothes to fill the closets
I’m commenting as I watch through the video. 1st house:👎 2nd house: Much better! 3rd house: Love the brick! Like the archways, too! Nice home! Fancy! 😊 4th house: All that wood, screams “high maintenance” but, far more interesting, for sure. One car garage??? Ahhhh And of course I love mid century. But, nah! Nope! House number 3 out of these four choices would be best.
House #3 had 2 niches for swung vases. House #4 has a guest house where you could totally contain your business and shoot videos. House #4 is MCM friendly. Big kitchen. But not enough bedrooms in the main house. Could the guest house be attached to the main house?
Shared a driveway for 9 years with one house next door. It was not great and terrible when their teenagers started to drive. Just fyi. Good luck on your hunt.
Okay let's ask Glenda to house hunt and you buy her house😌 but she has to come cook because Tam David and I are still wondering why you want a big kitchen 😂
I don’t like the new ones. The floors sound so hollow and plastic-y and the layouts feel like apartments. Also I hate hollow white interior doors. And why do people paint their walls gray? Maybe you could find somethng built in the 60’s. Construction was so solid back then. After that it all went downhill, IMO!
In my humble opinion: As you get older, you'll want a walk in shower and first floor bedroom and bathroom. Jack Jack would love a big, fenced-in yard. If you don't cook a lot, no need for a huge kitchen. I raised 4 kids in a small 1930's home with a tiny kitchen, barely any counter space, and few cabinets. Also no dishwasher. Think Scott's kitchen! And I cooked almost every day! More than one bathroom is great. I have only one! Lots of closets are wonderful. I have 1 in my whole house! Avoid HOA's. i know people who have dealt with them. Not good. Get what you can afford to make payments on through retirement, in case that happens. You will know when you find your new home. You will just know!!
Have you considered a new build?? Also wait to buy till after presidential election! The housing market hopefully will change for the better!!! Better interest rates!!!
Man, this is tough as the houses are so different from the PNW. I hope you are able to take your time, and find what will really work for your family, work and eBay. Are there neighborhoods a bit older, even 70s construction might be better. Anyway these are fun videos.
I cringe thinking about the cost of homeowners insurance in your area. It seems like the mecca for natural disasters. Would you ever move to another state?
I like #2! The best!
Right now its is a buyers market ,houses are down .i was thinking of selling mine and downsizing. Since my husband died.i also been looking .when you see it you will know it.just take your time you will find it .
I feel your pain house hunting. My husband and I are getting older and looking to downsize and move from our rural setting into a small town. So far we just cannot find what we want. Good luck in your search.
That last one was an odd set up for sure! The cat was the best part. I say keep looking too! I hope the next ones give you choices you like better! 😊
I think the last house would be perfect for your business if you used the two bedroom side of the house for your u-tube sales production in one bedroom and storage o f inventory in the other. Just a thought.
One I didn't like the entrance. Two small bedrooms. Three lots of little turns small master bath. Four was different. Small garage but large open kitchen. I wasn't taken by any of them. I didn't think they were you.😊
If I had to pick #4, but not split!🩷🩷

Keep looking....I looked at over 2 dozen houses before I found the one I bought. I knew as soon as I walked into it.
Good luck! So difficult
The fourth house was the best. I like the separate two bedrooms as would be for my animals. The yard was nice. Needs work, but could be nice.
I like the second house with big porch, good size yard, nice kitchen and big rooms....happy house hunting!!!
What a fun video to go along with you both for your future home! House 1-no for me
House 2- I like it
House 3 - so so
House 4- hard pass
Keeping you both in my prayers as always and I am sure you will find a home you will fall in love with, just will take a little time. ❤ (((big hugs))) to you both!!

Screens on the garage seems nice

I liked house number three the best...I think it was the cat...😂💙
Thanks you taking us with you.😊
I’m hoping you’ll have a big old Victorian on your list, that needs to be brought back to life!
They like mid century style stuff, so I doubt a Victorian would be their speed.
Yeah, I was thinking they might get that for me. I’m sure whatever home they find, it will be the right one for them and will be beautiful.
It may take some time Tammy and David to find what you want in a home, but when you see it,and especially what you feel when you walk into it,will make it all worthwhile. It will come to you. 😊❤ I'm sure of it. ❤

I totally agree! Older is better!
Remember to look for good “bones”, cosmetic things like paint etc are easy fix!!!

Thanks for the advice. We are looking at holder homes and definitely will pay for inspections!
I liked the last house for the outside and the living room and kitchen
This was fun, I love looking at houses!
I really liked #4 but realize it's not quite right for you guys with that bedroom layout.
My heart ached a bit for you when the agent commented about having alot of clothes to fill the closets
Better luck next time, very cute girls and they did a great job .
It’s always a bit of a shock when you begin to look at houses. Try not to be discouraged. 😊
Love the mid-century vibes of number 4.... nice man-cave for David.
This is going to be hard. Because I'm like you guys with the character part of a house.
House hunting! Time to settle. ❤
I liked number 3…but Keep looking.❤️👩🧑🏻🦱🐶⭐️
I’m commenting as I watch through the video. 1st house:👎

I have subscribed a while ago and this is my first comment.😊 I can understand the excitement looking for a new home. Wish you the best luck!❤️
Thank you, Maria for your support and for reaching out! Please feel free to comment anytime!
House 4 was in the right direction but only if the guest house was connected to the main house. Interesting layout! Quirky is right for house four 😮
The right one is out there! I know you will find it!
House #3 had 2 niches for swung vases. House #4 has a guest house where you could totally contain your business and shoot videos. House #4 is MCM friendly. Big kitchen. But not enough bedrooms in the main house. Could the guest house be attached to the main house?
My thoughts exactly! If the guest house would be connected to the main house somehow there would more space! Definitely quirky layout on house four! 😮
I like the third one
Shared a driveway for 9 years with one house next door. It was not great and terrible when their teenagers started to drive. Just fyi. Good luck on your hunt.
House #2 vibe was good. Garage?
That Cat! The cutest booty ever!
Black and white booty! 🤣
👍👍👍👍
Okay let's ask Glenda to house hunt and you buy her house😌 but she has to come cook because Tam David and I are still wondering why you want a big kitchen 😂
I don't understand why you `aren't rebuilding on the lot that burnt? That's what I would do and build to your specs..Best Carol from Vermont
I don’t like the new ones. The floors sound so hollow and plastic-y and the layouts feel like apartments. Also I hate hollow white interior doors. And why do people paint their walls gray? Maybe you could find somethng built in the 60’s. Construction was so solid back then. After that it all went downhill, IMO!
In my humble opinion:
As you get older, you'll want a walk in shower and first floor bedroom and bathroom.
Jack Jack would love a big, fenced-in yard.
If you don't cook a lot, no need for a huge kitchen. I raised 4 kids in a small 1930's home with a tiny kitchen, barely any counter space, and few cabinets. Also no dishwasher. Think Scott's kitchen! And I cooked almost every day!
More than one bathroom is great. I have only one!
Lots of closets are wonderful. I have 1 in my whole house!
Avoid HOA's. i know people who have dealt with them. Not good.
Get what you can afford to make payments on through retirement, in case that happens.
You will know when you find your new home. You will just know!!
May I ask why are you looking for such a large home? You could live more richer with less over head .You two are so adorable I wish you the best ❤
Not a fan of the 1st house at all, 2nd wasn't bad, third I liked and the 4th I didn't like at all. I like the one you sent in the text!
Exactly how I feel, Dee! 😊
Have you considered a new build?? Also wait to buy till after presidential election! The housing market hopefully will change for the better!!! Better interest rates!!!
Man, this is tough as the houses are so different from the PNW. I hope you are able to take your time, and find what will really work for your family, work and eBay. Are there neighborhoods a bit older, even 70s construction might be better. Anyway these are fun videos.
Yes, would like to see 70s and even mcm inspired 80s houses in the list to tour!
I thought you were looking for older built homes? Those were all newer built. Tammy Those didn't have built-ins
Preliminary list. We are touring more Sunday.
3 was the least horrible.
👋👍🙌😎
Sorry guys, I didn’t care for any of these homes. I agree with the comment of “keep on looking”
You will know when the right one comes along. 😊
We passed too!
All the houses are much better then what you had Dont be so picky
I cringe thinking about the cost of homeowners insurance in your area. It seems like the mecca for natural disasters. Would you ever move to another state?
Don't live in an HOA! I'm not sure if any of your choices are in any, but no, dont do it!
I didn't like any of them, didn't like the layouts, keep looking, you will find your style ❤Good Luck
Personally I'd thumbs down to all 4 of them!
