For what it's worth, I don't think it sounds foolish. I think it sounds wonderful, and like something else to look forward to. I'm very happy for you. ^ v ^
Just the whole aspect of having a space that belongs to you and knowing you don't have to move from it for the rest of your life if you don't want to would be enough to make it worth it, for me.
I was looking through Yahoo Homes, and there were a few that would work out great of us... We have already talked about how we want at least a .5 an acre of land, and 3 bedrooms if there isn't a basement.
Just one word of warning: all houses go up in value, except for manufactured homes. They always lose value. For that very reason, many banks are reluctant to finance a loan on a manufactured home, and if you have to move and sell it, you may end up losing money.
If you're going to be there a while and the bank's agreed to finance no matter what, you haven't a thing to worry about. But this is just something to bear in mind.
And the land the home is on WILL go up in value during that time.
I've done some poking around, and they seem like they'd be the most reliable realtor in town. Mostly because they're more of a co-op of realtors who work for the buyer (rather than the seller).

It's just a very big step, though one we were planning on take this year.
I so want a house, then I can hang stuff up, and do whatever we want, and have parties :)

Log cabins are really great, though. ^ v ^

The internet is great, but a lot of the ones on yahoo homes seemed to be not through a realtor.
