To Sell or Not To Sell
You may have noticed some comments here and there about Jen and I possibly selling our house and buying another one.
Yeah, yeah, we've done a lot of work here, how could we sell it, blah, blah, blah, but (without going into too much detail) there's a situation or opportunity where we could buy a different place.
Or course we'd have to sell this place, which means finish all the projects and get it in sellable shape.
Not that our place is a dump, but there's this whole "Buyer's Market" thing that requires your place to be extra spiffy.
Our place is cool. It's a nice location.
The other place is really cool. It's 150 yrs old, so it has lots of character. The location is also very cool and very private. Just pulling into the driveway was relaxing.
So one day I'm all for making the move(s) to do the other place and Jen is not. The next day she's all ready to go, but I'm not.
We've been going back and forth for nearly two months now. Projects are still being done around here, since we need to do them anyway before the baby arrives, but I find the more I do, the more I want to do. The more I want to stay. We're comfortable here. We know the ins & outs and still have great plans for this place.
But the other place is like a dream come true (sort of, there wouldn't be too many dreams left to afford after that).
So back and forth we go. We have some things scheduled this week to help with the decisions. Things like septic inspections here and maybe checking out other houses.
We'll see. Who knows?

Amy and I have been doing the same thing for the last 4 years. With the third kid we have now officially outgrown this house. One problem, we love this location and have yet to find anything better. I am now (this week at least) back to putting on an addition. Good luck with whatever you decide.
