Back in the saddle, again
So we sort of have another bid in on a house. The seller wants us to go higher. I can't decide if we should. Pluses on the house, amazing yard (it's only 1 acre but a mostly flat and sunny 1 acre), good (to me) property taxes, nice flow to the rooms, beautifully updated kitchen and decently updated bathrooms, decent location, and plenty of room (holy heck 1800 sq feet can go really far when well designed!) Negatives are: it's more than I wanted to spend and I am worried my desire to get out of here is coloring me, If I wait maybe I will find something better, but if I wait maybe I won't.. And teh husband wants to do some of the work we would do fixing a place up ourselves which would mean it would take forever vs this is all ready to go...
Edit: I just want to clarify, to a normal person the stairs to the lower level/basement are perfectly normal. If you wanted to spend the money you could carpet them because they are full stairs, not the type with the open back like our old basement stairs, I'm just anti-stairs right now because I worry about them with the toddler. Right now she couldn't access them because she can't open doors, but it is something I need to think about since laundry is currently down there.
So...
What would you do, fair reader?
