So as some of you might know, Cody and I are going to be in Boston for a while. We originally thought we might be returning to San Diego after a year or so…once he got the office off of the ground..but it looks like we are here to stay for a while. He is doing phenomenal things and I couldn’t be more proud of him! That being said, we are at the point where we are tired of renting and really want a place to call home. We have jumped from place to place…feeling almost settled when we have to pack up and move again. With my love for decorating and his love of outdoor spaces, we are ready to have a place to call our own and really make our own.
We have been looking on and off for a while, but are now getting really serious about it. This has been one of the reasons it’s been a bit quite on the blog. As I am sure some of you reading this are aware, house hunting is TOUGH. Especially in a place like Boston where the market is extremely competitive and the real estate is very expensive. Very expensive. You pay for the location and I am totally okay with that because I love it here … as long as a girl can get a washer/dryer and two bedrooms without spending a fortune. Is that too much to ask, BOSTON?!
Anyway, since the market is so crazy – you literally have to get your offer right away without too much time to think about it. There is so much pressure! We are planning on placing an offer on a place today if all goes well… and I am so nervous.
One thing I can definitely say I have learned is to not get attached to a place and start mentally moving your furniture in it… we did that a couple of times and things just didn’t work out. So, here’s to hoping all things going well with this one and no one comes in with all cash or we get into a crazy bidding war. My anxiety cannot handle that.
I would really appreciate any tips from all of you homeowners out there! Please tell me I am not alone in this. 🙂
