Buying a house ****ing sucks.

Especially if you're trying to stay under 200k like the OP.

Yeah, we’ve been tracking Zillow pretty regularly just to keep an eye on the market. We’ve already given up on our preferred location, which was up by Fairway. Unfortunately, it looks we’d need $600+ minimum to get what we want/need. I mean, we don’t need a big house, but with 2 kids I need more than 1900 sq ft at that price.

Based on our wants/needs/budget, we’ll probably be looking at southern Prairie Village/northern Leawood. I’d prefer to be on the MO side, but **** the KCMO school district and **** the price of private school.
