Even when there are plenty of homes for sale, some (or many?) buyers won't be able to find "the perfect house" -- even after looking at a lot of houses.  What is a buyer to do?



Some would say every buyer must compromise on some aspects of the house they are searching for.  Above you can see that a full third of home buyers responding to the National Association of Realtors research methods did not consider themselves to have compromised at all in their home purchase.  From there, we jump down to size and price of the home, followed by condition.

The areas where buyers were unwilling to compromise included items such as schools, neighborhood and distance from family and friends.

Where would you prefer to compromise as a buyer?
