Choose the house that makes more sense or the house you fell in love with?

We are in the process of relocating to another area of our country and are sure about the area.

We have prepared ourselves with extensive comparisons and lists of ‘dealbreakers’, must have and nice to have elements.

Now that we are getting closer to choosing we found that my SO and I have a different favorite. Their one makes most sense on paper, but is about 100k more expensive than my favorite.

They are very different houses, and it got me wondering: is it better to choose the ‘sensible’ house (theirs) or the one you fall in love with?

Is there such a thing as ‘the one that got away’ when it comes to houses?

I find myself mentally decorating my favorite. Their favorite has zero character, this all needs to be out in. It’s more of a blank slate. Mine has character, but is the lesser choice when compared to practical elements.

Any thoughts on this?

I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
