Well, this weekend we found a home that we really like (follow this link for a virtual tour). It's in a great neighborhood as well, a master planned community with a big pool, several small parks throughout the neighborhood, and a beautiful large new park across the street with everything you could imagine. It's within walking distance of the grade school and middle school and just down the street is a new private catholic high school. We already know a lot of people that live in the neighborhood, as they're in our ward. And interest rates are at a record low. It's a good time for us to buy. We love the layout of this house downstairs, but we're not in love with the floor plan upstairs. It would have been great to have a loft instead of some wasted space, or the laundry room upstairs instead of downstairs, and the tub placement in the master bath is kind of weird, but overall we really like it and could get a very large lot (for Vegas). Another builder in the same community has a model we also like, same size, but the opposite problem. We love the upstairs but not the downstairs. Which floor is more important? The main floor where your living space is (kitchen, dining, great room, living room, den, etc.) or the upstairs where your bedrooms are? What do you think?

I'd definitely say your main level is most important to like. How many hours a day does anyone really spend (awake) in their bedroom? You'll spend endless hours in your living rooms & kitchen, observing every angle of your home. You'll also entertain in those spaces, and if something about those areas bother you, it might bother you more when other people are there in your home observing everything. Good luck, I hope you find the right fit!
i'd definitely say the main floor too, think how much more time you would spend there than in your bedroom...especially when you have company...
