Which house should we get?

David and I are trying to decide between two houses at this point. We're going back to see them both today, and we need to make a decision this weekend so we can move on one of them Monday.

Here's the deal with each of them:

David's favorite is in the Raleigh city limits, so it's closer to friends, family, jobs, etc. It's smaller than the other one, and our furniture won't fit quite as well. But the neighborhood is beautiful (it's a golf community with gorgeous homes), the home is on a corner lot and the equity in the home would be pretty good, we're thinking. It has brick on the outside, which is a huge plus. This house is a resale.

My favorite is in Fuquay-Varina, about 20-30 minutes south of Raleigh. It would be a longer commute to friends, family, work, etc. But the home is larger, and our furniture would fit very well. It's on a cul-de-sac lot that backs up to a wooded area and a greenway, which you can't actually see. The neighborhood is nice, but it's not amazing like the other one. It also doesn't have any brick. But this house is new, so there's a possibility we could get the builder to add a few features here and there (i.e. a refrigerator).

Any thoughts?
