Wow, time has really flown by since the last post. Not only has two major holidays passed, and a couple minor ones too, but so has the entire Winter season! Well, Spring is here and it has brought about some changes.
We finally got an offer on the house and should close the second week of April! Yaaaay!
Now, time to pack and move!! Booo!
Since my last post, we have looked at several properties and just recently narrowed it down to two, but just as we were about to decide one of them sold. The story there is that someone had an offer on it before we came along, yet the owners were taking backup offers. Though we could have taken the deal out from under them, the thought of it happening to us already gave us some hesitation. It was during this time that they secured the purchase. Good for them! Especially since we were leaning towards that one anyway. As far as the other property goes, we started to make the deal but something just didn't feel right. Its a beautiful piece of land with plenty of room to work, play, romp, graze, plant, and just about whatever, but that gut feeling prevailed and we turned it away.
So many choices out there and so many factors to base our decisions. Distance to work, cost of improvements, cost of building, types of animals allowed and quantity, all while trying to cut expenses. I can hear Dave Ramsey now telling us that we can't have our cake and eat too! We've gone to looking for land 10 acres and greater to anything with a house and "some" acres that's practically move-in ready. Oh, and the drive! Gotta consider that one too.
Well, when it does happen, we'll know it. And then we'll post it!
Meanwhile the search continues.
