It was a tough decision, but we have finally decided. We will not be buying a home, right now. We had EVERY intention of buying, once the lease was up on this apartment, but after checking out areas, and houses, we are going to 'go with the masses' and waiting a while to buy. It seems as if every home I look at is bank owned, or short sale. Most of the bank owned ones, have no appliances, carpets ripped out, some have no lighting or plumbing fixtures. It seems as if those folks that lost their homes took everything but the kitchen sink with them. Or others broke into empty homes, and cleaned them out. I just don't know that I want to tackle such a fix up job. And the prices for homes are still too high (in my opinion). But I guess I sold my house for more than it was worth, so I am part of the problem too
So we have decided to continue to rent, but we will find a larger and nicer apartment than the small one we are in. It would also be nice to have something with a garage. We looked around today. I am leaning towards renting a town house or a Condo. I don't want to hear folks walking in the apartment above me. So the search is on for another home!
Here we are at the start of another year, a fresh page, a clean slate.... Let's make it a good one! If nothing else happens this year, I am hoping to enjoy every moment of this year!!! Life really is too short to complain as much as I do
