Good luck! And get a good home inspector... (Yeah, can you tell we just bought as well...)
Also, as someone who just had basically a whole house painted, my advice is to buy little 2 oz samples of the colors you are thinking about using and get a small whiteboard/brush to paint it on (the paint place usually has both) - the colors are always slightly different (usually darker) than they appear on the color sample or paper color. Then you can compare the colors to your carpets or furniture or whatever. Many paint places have a color "consultant" that can help if you have difficult rug/furniture colors.
If you are interesting, Benjamin Moore makes an Eco-spec paint in all it's colors that is the same cost as regular paint but with zero VOC's (volatile organic compounds). VOC's can linger in the air/come off the paint for years and make some homes more air poluted than the outside air (this is the odor of new paint also). The typical paint people use for low-VOC (not ero like the eco-spec) is the Aura brand - but it's twice as much. The Eco-spec is being discontinued in a couple of years, though, as they bring on a new green paint if that makes a difference to you.
