We went to go see 2 houses today, and we are TORN between them! They both have something the other doesn't have... which means if we combined them we'd have the perfect house! But no... things don't work that way.
So I've made a pro/con list for each house. Of course. Check it out. :)

Thoughts? Which should we pick?

My first instinct sides with the 2005 house. 5 Minutes is not a big difference. It is harder to add closet space then new flooring. Landscaping is really expensive to change.
Agree. Sounds like the older house has more fundamental problems, like less space and room size. Those are a lot bigger hassle than driving a little further to work/friends/family. The updates sound a little easier to make too. I'm not an expert and we're not as far in the process as you guys are, but on paper it seems like a pretty easy choice...
#1. It overall sounds better, and I feel like there is an underlying tone of you liking it more, but what do I know! haha
Plus once the recession is over, I'm sure the town will build out to where that house is so don't let it being a bit farther out influence your decision too much!
I tend to agree with all of these comments. I think you will also appreciate the extra square footage of house #1. Neighborhoods are really important to resale value, too, and it sounds like #1 is the better choice in that regard, too. Keep praying about it, and I know the right decision will jump off the page for you.
