At least once a week, I fill in our specifications and go shopping:
Minimum price: (not telling you our budget)
Maximum price: (not telling you our budget)
Minimum bedrooms: 3 [but 4 would be ideal, so sometimes I look for 4]
Minimum bathrooms: 2 [but 2.5 or 3 would be ideal so sometimes I search for those too]
Pool: no - not now at least...
Garage size: 2 cars or larger [a must have]
You know you're on the site too much when you recognize all the street names in the search and get excited when there's a new street that you haven't seen before.
Here's what I found today:

I like the house I would prefer wood floors to but then I think about having kids and it makes me not so sure cause I liked having carpet when I was little. The back yard is a little small for me but I could get over it. I kinda figure whenever I buy a house I will have a painting party and invite my friends who can paint and won't spill it over to help so to me wall colors don't make a different to me =) Thanks for the website and posting this I am going to check out the website tonight!
