Love location/lot size but not the floor plan which will never be what I want. Would you go for it anyway?

We toured a house today in the only neighborhood we are interested in living in. We’ve looked and know this is where we want to be. However, we feel conflicted about it because while the lot is bigger than average and the set up is perfect for our son, garden and chickens we aren’t crazy about the floor plan. I love open concepts but this 70s two story layout would only allow for open kitchen and dining room vs the open kitchen, dining, living room that I prefer. The house has some nice extras like a generator, huge back covered patio with fans and tv installed, mature trees, and is out of the flood zone which is a big deal for where we live. This will be our 3rd house purchase and buying another home that I don’t absolutely love has me feeling so torn bc the location is perfect but the house will never be what we imagine for ourselves. Have any of you been in a similar situation? What was the decision and do you regret it?

ETA: this was the 6th house we looked at in this neighborhood over the last 9 months. Starting to wonder if we’re just too damn picky!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Here’s What You Should Know! Commercial Real Estate (Non-Residential) Buying a property in Delhi can be tricky, especially with all the stories about scams and shady deals.
