With looking at houses online!! Good thing yes, bad thing is im at work doing it!! im seriously going to get in trouble! Between LIW, facebook and now this! Ugh! I just don't have enough time in the day to do my actual work!
I just wanna go look at them all in person right this second so I can determine if its worth me getting all worked up about!!!
Like this one house I found! I think I've fallen for it! But that happened with the first house I liked too! Loved it online, hated it in person! The quicker I see it the quicker I know if I should be wasting my time and energy fantasizing about me and DH living our happily ever after in it! LOL I even see our kids running around in the back yard! Yeah! I've lost it! I know!!

You have to go into houses with some imagination. Try not to see it as it is but how it could be with the work your willing to put in. Even a coat of paint can change a house completely. If you don't go in looking that way you will never find a perfect house.
Also realize, you ALWAYS have to compromise on something. Even when you get up to the high end houses you might have to pass up the super duper walk in closet for the jacuzzi whirl pool bath and marble jet showers. (LOL, in my dreams will I be making that compromise) but its true.
I wish those were the things i was compromising on!! lol im compromising on a basement or no basement, one bathroom or 1 and 1/2 bath! lol back yard or tiny piece of grass! lol
No I know, I have been there. But I am just saying you have to realize no matter what you have to compromise. You will never get everything you want. I compromised a kitchen I hated, walking out onto driveway instead of a yard in the back, and being on a very busy road for 4 bedrooms, 2 car garage and a great piece of property.
Luckily for me (unluckily for our wallet) the cabinets in our kitchen were falling down which we didn't realize until we had to put stuff on them. So we had to fix it and we made it much nicer, but its still smaller then some other houses I looked at.

Re: Ive become obsessed!
We've been doing that too. Although we can't buy. Buuuutt., I just applied to grad school and I'm waiting to hear back (obviously won't know for a few months) and one of the schools I really want to go to is in Las Vegas. If we did move out there we could buy a house, there's small ones a little bit bigger than our apartment going for 45-65K. DH and I combined already make more than that house is worth. It's insane how cheap it is to live in other parts of the country and to think we might be able to buy if we live there. Fingers crossed!
