Free at last!

After years of hard work (mostly Jeremy's) and diligent penny-pinching and financial wizardry (mostly mine), we are finally debt free! I thought it would be nice to start the new year off right, so I paid off the minivan today.
Now we can start actively pursuing getting into lots and lots of debt by buying a house. That is, provided we can find one that

• wasn't built for midgets.
• doesn't have train tracks in the front or back yard.
• doesn't have an electrical substation in the back yard.
• doesn't have a lumber yard across the street.
• doesn't have a stipulation involving allowing the seller's family member to live in the attached apartment rent-free for a year.
• has actual walls and floors.

Unfortunately, the houses currently on the market in our price range suffer from one or more of the above issues. One day...
