Houses, given a minimum number of rooms and a max budget: good condition, good location, decent yard/lot size

Those are the three that are important to me anyway. Currently favoring condition (don't have any major repair skills) and yard size (want to do a lot of gardening and other fun yard stuff).

Clothes: functionality, fashion, cost.

I'll take functionality and cost almost every day.
