About the house in your price range that needs a roof--if the inspection shows that it needs the roof, you can make having the roof replaced a condition of the sale. Or ask them to cut the price by however much a new roof would cost. You have a lot more flexibility here (in making your offer) than it sounds like you think you have.
(ETA: I just read that and then realized that the inspection comes after the offer. Offers are generally contingent on a good inspection anyway--you should talk to your buyer's agent about how to include the new roof in the offer. The sellers should definitely pay for it.)
I think it's funny that you want a house with stairs--I wanted a house I would leave feet first, so I deliberately looked for 1-story houses. But chacun a son gout!
I do think you're concentrating on the most important things. Floor plan is crucial, and it sounds like you are learning what's important to you.
