Many Americans start out to fulfill their dream of buying that perfect home. They expect to see master bedrooms, chef kitchen and an oasis for a bathroom but according to a recent survey of 1,000 Americans by Flyhomes, reality often falls short of dream-home expectations.

• Fight it out: One in 5 say they got into a fight with their partner while buying a home.
• Talk it out: Two in 5 say they talked to their parents about it.
• (Don’t) sleep on it: One-third say they lost sleep over the home buying process.
