New Year, New Home?

Not yet.

We looked at two potentially new residences yesterday. The one, is fairly large 3 BR, first-floor duplex that is in pretty good shape. Only thing is...it's at the high end of our price range. The other place is a crappy, crappy "3" BR apartment in a "remodeled" farmhouse. The nicest thing I can say about it is that someone could physically live there. I wouldn't recommend it, but they could.

So, it doesn't look like we'll be moving into either place. Honestly, the only thing wrong with the first place is that it's a little on the pricey side of things. We would have to unload our washer and dryer, and refrigerator. Which seems kinda stupid since we'd have to buy another one when we moved out of the place most likely. Which, the more that I think about it, seems stupid, too.

I know I've said it before, but this housing thing is just crap. It makes no sense to buy a house right now with how miserable the market is, but it's nigh-impossible to find a suitable apartment that we're not going to end up hating, or over-extending our budget on. Grrr.

Keep in mind that you are headed towards the "Spring" season and the housing market will open up a bit more. You never know what you might be able to find or afford. Keep a positive outlook! Things will work out the way they are suppose to.

Here's hoping, Anonymous. I haven't given up all hope yet. It's just very easy to get discouraged sometimes, ya' know?

Buy, buy, buy! Why throw your money away in rent, when you can invest in a home? The market may be lousy, but at least you wouldn't be giving your money to someone else.

Plus, you won't share a wall with anyone!
