Home for sale


Well, we offered to buy someone else's home and they accepted, as long as they can keep their home on the market as they feel they can sell it for more to someone else. They probably could, but in today's market, it is hard to find a buyer for your home. Which is where we find ourselves. Wanting to move into the home we can stay in for 20 more years, but needing to find a buyer for our current home first.

I always knew that this would be the hardest part of the home buying/selling process. Our current home only has 1 bathroom and a yard that was put in by me, which means it looks like it was done by a guy who spends more time indoors than out. We do live in a great neighborhood and in a very lightly traveled cul de sac. So I'm sure there are people out there who find our house to be a nice home. Someone who can do better yard work than me and could finish the basement to get that 2nd bathroom and more living space. As soon as we find this needle in the small haystack of buyers, we can move to our new home and enjoy the benefits of a higher mortgage and another unfinished basement to complete. But it will be a a lovely home with a walk in closet in the master bathroom. What I've always dreamed about. :)
