Here’s a more viable strategy. Ask a friend to pick your house for you, maximizing to his/her heart’s content, and narrowing it down to 2-3 choices for you to personally pick from. This negates any dissatisfaction you might feel about maximizing, because you didn’t have to.
I (a habitual satisficer) have a similar arrangement with my husband (an occasional maximizer) about car purchases. He researches a bunch and picks a few possibilities, from which I choose.
I have an identical arrangement with my wife. She does the research and narrows it down, I make the final choice so she doesn’t have to deal with maximizing.
