Ben Stiller is planning to ditch Hollywood to return to his native New York.

The actor is currently living in Los Angeles with his actress wife Christine Taylor and their two kids, daughter Ella, seven, and son Quinlin, three, but has admitted that he looks for houses every time he is in New York.

However, Stiller insists that he won't move from Tinseltown until he finds the perfect Big Apple home for his family.

"Everytime we come here, we do a little house hunting... after a show (Philbin) said, 'Hey, check out the place.' It was incredible. I got the personal tour. It was wonderful but we haven't bought anything yet. We're just wondering if we're going to make the big move," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
