This Old House

Selling a house isn't what it used to be. There is one buyer for every 12 houses on the market. What makes it even worse is that they are building houses all over the place. Subdivisions (they call them Estates), huge monstrosities, and condos are popping up all over. People would rather buy a new home instead of a good solid old home like ours. Of course, we need to find that special buyer who wants an indoor pool. It is getting to be a real drag though... it has been 11 months since we listed with a realtor. We had it sold once, or almost I should say. But the ones that were buying our house... their buyers backed out and then the domino effect occurred. So we lost out on a buyer and a house that we wanted to buy. So.... this time we took a huge risk and decided to buy the house we wanted before this house sold. We sure are doing a lot of praying, wishing and hoping a buyer comes along soon. Tomorrow we have a showing and I have a 'good feeling' about it. This is the ONE... the buyer!

Hopefully this next place we're buying will be our last home. I have said that about our last 3 homes but for one reason or another we decided to move. This house 'feels' like home... I call it homely! We both really love this house so I think it will be the one for us! I don't know if anyone else will see the charm of it like we do, but I guess it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks of it. No close neighbors and black angus roaming in the back... don't get much better than that!
