More kids in the future? Is your job situation stable in terms of income and location?

Those are the questions I would ask. As your kid(s) grow up, you may find your needs and wants evolve over time. That 700 sq ft workshop may sound nice now, but what about 5 years from now? 10 years?

We've been grappling over whether its time to find our "forever home" -- not sure if it'll be the next house or not but location, cost, and features are all things to factor into it.

One thing I'll add: big house tends to lead to stuff to fill said big house. May not be an issue if you guys are pretty frugal/disciplined when it comes to spending but having a nice workshop leads to tools and projects and time you may ormaynotwant to invest in...
