There is NO convincing her otherwise, trust me.
Have you guys made a list of what you
want and what you
need? It really does help.
Each of you make a list of three things you NEED, and three additional things you WANT. Put them on paper, and use the list to eliminate houses that don't match your NEEDS.
Plays out like this:
You *want* a large garage. In absence of that, you NEED the space for a garage and a price that will allow you to build one after the house is bought.
Your wife wants a nice looking modern home, but NEEDS a nice family neighborhood.
Make a commitment that you'll only look at the homes that have what you both NEED, but you'll both compromise and look at ones that may not have the additional things you WANT. It will save you a lot of frustration.
Enjoy!
