You can totally tell that you're still at the very beginning of your house search. You believe, like with a TV, that you can calmly and rationally choose the best offer. Everything is still very naive and sugar-coated. The reality looks different.
You have to commit to a good house within a day, otherwise someone else will buy it. And even if you like a house, that doesn’t mean you will get the contract. Your dream house can slip through your fingers multiple times in a row. That’s the reality.
There is no house without making compromises. Or you build exactly how you want it, which would answer your question about a new build.
