Aliene and I decided to try to buy another house. We have to sell our current house first for a minimum amount so everything is still iffy.
We like our current house, but don't like the yard which takes so much time to maintain. Also, although it is a good house, it is 20 years old and things start to go wrong. I am all thumbs when it comes to mechanical projects (I can't even change a bicycle tire) and I finally decided I didn't have time to mess with it. Also, we have a very hard time finding compenent people who are willing to work on small jobs.
Anyway, so we are going to start living in the world of "open houses", where people tromp through your house, sudden house visits, and the always on the back of your mind fear that someone actually WILL offer a suitable offer for the house!
The house we are considering is in an "over 55" addition, and has lawn service etc. as part of the Homeowners Association fee. We still haven't signed a contingency contract (contingent on the sale of our home), but expect to in the near future.
We are going to list our house for six months. If it doesn't sell, we'll decide that fate has decreed that this our house and enjoy it!
