I think this is it. After looking for a house for a little over three months -- or is it four?-- I think we are close to finding the starter home we have always dreamed of.
Not really. One of the first agents I worked with told me, "better to buy the worst house in the best area, than the best house in the worst area." So the property that I hope comes through for us kind of falls somewhere along those lines. I loooooved the area. Tree-lined streets, well manicured gardens, no trash, no graffiti. No noise! The place will require a bit of work, and I may have to take a good amount of that on my own. Thankfully I have learned to paint, to sand, to tear down and to hammer, among other things. At least the basics, I say, that might save me a few hundred dollars in the end.
Say a prayer that this property comes through, if this is what will be best for us. It is on a street named after a saint, so I am asking that saint to intercede on our behalf. It would be quite appropriate, I think, and it is also a beautiful name. I won't disclose the details. I won't give the place or address away. Not believing in this sort of thing, I prefer being cautious. Lest the powers that be feel compelled to not make it happen. :)
