Up-date on the Down-size
Well, let me just say, it's a good thing we are starting early investigating what exactly we will be downsizing too. Just a few days ago I wrote that we intended to purchase a 40-75 thousand dollar house. We looked at a few that fell into the 45,000 category with a realtor this weekend. There is NO WAY we can buy a house and live in it if it only costs 45,000 dollars. These homes had no heating and no air which wasn't even the worst of their problems. They would certainly have been money pits needing a complete overhaul, or better yet demolition. The floors were very similar to the waves on the ocean, and the smells were certainly not pleasant, So. We have increased our price range to accommodate this new found, but not really surprising, knowledge. We had to start at the very bottom and work up. It's the best way to find what is going to be exactly right, and now we know 45,000 isn't it! Maybe closer to 75,000 will be right!

ReplyDeleteWhen Adam and I were shopping for the house we live in now, we looked at a few bargain basement ($20-30,000) houses. Yep, those are unlivable. One even had a large, scary, barking dog next door straining at his chain, a la Sandlot. No thank you.

Just keep looking. Hank referred to our home search as looking for a "needle in a haystack". In two days, we saw over 40 homes. And out of those 40, only 2 peaked our interest. So be patient and keep looking.
