House-Hunting: Question For You

We’re going back to see a couple of houses today that we rejected the first time around, but that I think may be able to see more clearly now that I’ve been hanging around this rodeo for awhile (e.g. looking past cosmetic concerns like a patchy yard or paint colors I hate).

In your opinion, is this a bad idea? When it comes to first impressions with homes, how important is that initial gut reaction? I know that you should never base a home purchase on things like, say, how nice the kitchen appliances are or how the previous owners decorated…but is there that intangible something that makes you recognize a place immediately as somewhere you’d like to spend the years to come?

(Oh, and I’ll Tweet pics today – from about 3-6 is when I’ll be up-river.)
