We’re currently on the hunt for a new house. We’ve been in our current home for about 5 years, and are now out of room. When we bought the house it seemed so spacious. Of course that was before moving in my stuff, my husband’s stuff & a large amount of kid stuff. Add to that a new baby, and planning for at least 1 more child. We’re gonna need a bigger house!
The actual hunt has it’s ups and downs. Most of the downs come from my need for perfection. The perfect house that has everything I could want for the rest of my life. The perfect location for work, kids education, access to the city, surrounding view, etc. The perfect size to fit our growing family. The perfect timing. The perfect house. Which doesn’t seem to exist. At least not unless I want to build my own. And, well, I just don’t have that kind of time. Or patience.
I’ve been passively looking for over a year. Since before my daughter was born. We’ve recently started actively looking. That has resulted in well over 70 houses on my “possibility” list. Holy cats that’s a lot of houses! And we’re still looking. But I’m pretty sure we need to reduce that list by well over half because I don’t think our realtor wants to show us that many houses. I’m pretty sure I drove him bananas with the purchase of our current home.
Wish us luck & sanity. House hunting & selling tips (from non bots) are welcome!
