Out of the six homes we saw, we actually liked three of them. The one we liked the most is brand new but it is out of our price range (well they are all pretty much out of our price range). It is a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath townhome selling for $967,000. The other two we liked are going for $849,900 and $849,000. They are actually within a block of each other and have the same floorplans. The big difference is that one has Brazilian hardwood floors and the other has wall-to-wall carpeting.

My wife really liked the one that had the hardwood floors and I think I am going to talk with my lender on Monday to see what type of loans are available. I also liked the house a lot, my only concern is the commute to and from work. I think I'm looking at a 45 minute ride both ways which really isn't that bad considering there are people who spend over 3 hours a day in their car in Los Angeles. At this point is a wait and see scenario. I don't want to overextend myself from a financial standpoint so our decision will be based on what my lender tells me next week. More to come....
