How roommates navigate different housing priorities and budgets

My two roommates and I all want to move out of our expensive shared apartment but into different situations - one wants a cheaper place with more roommates, one wants to live alone even if it costs more, and I want us to find another place together. We're realizing we have completely different priorities about money versus privacy versus friendship, and our lease ends in two months.
