Who's House Should We Live In?

I just got engaged and we're ready to take the plunge into a remarriage with children! We really agree on parenting, what we want out of the marriage, etc. Our biggest dilemma is where we're going to live after we remarry.
My house isn't big enough. His house is, but it's the house he lived in with his ex. Part of me is uncomfortable with the idea of living there. I know that sounds petty, but you can just "feel" her when you're in the space.
The logical thing is to move into his house. We're really lucky because his house is in the same school district as my kids, so they wouldn't have to change schools.
On the other hand, we've talked about finding a new house for our new family. I like that idea, but the real estate market is lousy right now and his kids are adamant about not wanting to move!!
I was wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and can offer some suggestions?
Thank you.
