hunting

Aug 23, 2008 23:04

I spent a good portion of today out house hunting.  There's one specific lot that I am really interested in.  There isn't a whole lot of new housing starting in this side of town though.  I guess just part of the slowdown.  Unless something unexpected happens, I don't think I'd find a better option in the next 6 months for a new house.  If I bought used, then it's wide open.  I imagine I'd be able to get a decent deal on a used home.  I don't think the market will be getting much better for buying.  I worry if I wait much longer people might start turning around.  And it really would be nice to put together my own house.

This lot has a wash on two sides which extend out a few hundred yards, so it's really nice.  The lot itself is not very big though.  They can't put the two plans on it that I'd like the most - the two biggest single stories.  I'd have to put a two story on there, but even then it's tight.  I'd prefer a single story.  But the two story I like has a deck off of the master bedroom which would be really sweet.  The property is so good I worry that it'll go fast.  But they say they haven't sold a house all month, so I don't know.  And it's about 7 houses down from my roommate.  decisions, decisions...

But first I need to reassess my finances and figure out how much I can comfortably spend.
