I’ve looked at 7 houses in this town, and not one of them is one that doesn’t require a lot of work or one that we want to put a lot of work into. I think the situation revolves around the fact that we are looking in a very low budget range for housing in this area.

Still, we’re waiting for the “moment” when we both know that this is home, even if carpet, other flooring, trim, and paint all need to be changed. I think I am anxious to get into a home of our own, but I know at the same time that if we get something we both don’t love, we’ll be stuck with it for a long time. That doesn’t sound appealing either.

Blessedly, our landlord will let us go month to month on our rent when our lease is up. That will give us a little more time.

It’ll be a wonder if this market ever turns around, given that there are people like me that want a house, but can’t afford it (and don’t qualify for much of anything in the way of special housing programs).
