Octomom -- I Need a New House ... That Will Fit All My Kids!

Octomom is finally in the market for a new house and among her list of criteria ... enough room to fit her 14 children. Size really does matter sometimes.

As TMZ first reported, Octo put her La Habra home on the market back in September. So far she's received a few offers ... but none good enough to accept.

According to our sources, Octo has three main criteria for her new pad. First, she wants to find a place in a gated community to cut down on all the unwanted attention she gets.

Secondly, we're told Octo would like to find a place she can really afford (novel concept) since her last pad went into foreclosure.

And lastly, of course ... a place big enough for her brood.
