We are seriously considering trying to buy a house. It just really seems like the time to do it. Right now we are living in a rental that we could buy if we so chose to do so. There are issues tho, the bathroom is TINY, anytime there is large amounts of rain we end up an island which is a huge annoyance not to mention I have to worry about my garden flooding out. We end up with water in the basement quite often which sucks and I have to worry about mold etc.
So on Thursday we are going to go look at a different acreage that is not far from where we are currently living. It is a 4 bedroom 2 bath, which is 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom bigger than we currently have. Can you imagine how nice that would be. Plus it would give us a room for each of the children as they get older, no one would have to share a room.
It has 2.5 acres of land which is almost an acre more than we have now and there are TONS of trees. I great windbreak of pine trees to the North and the West which should help with the money we spend on heating in the winter which can I just say would be SUPER nice.
It was build in the late 1800s but it has also had a couple additions. I am excited to go look at it because I am hoping that it doesn't look terrible inside. With where the price is we won't be able to put a ton into it right away, at least not until we are able to get the tax credit that they are offering but if I have my way I would like to put that up into an emergency fund. We never know when we may need a new car or car repairs or something of that sort. So I would like to have the money put away for those reasons.
I did tell Shane tho that we have to stop having kids because every one of our children have moved when they were less than a year if we move this time. Araya and Nevaeh were each 4 months when we moved and I am guessing it would likely be July when we could take possession of this house at the earliest which would put Carter at 9 months. It really is quite strange how we tick.
It will be sad to leave where we are as our landlords have been wonderful to work with and have helped us greatly but we really need to do what is best for us and our family. And if we buy a house this year by the time I am 61 it will be paid off which is a nice feeling.
