Rob and I have been doing some crazy talk lately and we decided that this summer we're going to start looking for a house. Yes, a home of our own! We're so excited and freaked out at the same time. With the market being so shitty right now, but in our favor, we'd be nuts not to jump at this opportunity. At least just to try! As grateful as we are with the living arrangements we have now and previously, we are itching to have something of our own. We feel like we're just stuck and haven't fully started our life together. We already started saving money and put our tax return straight into that pot. We're doing lots of research on mortgages and loans and all that "fun" stuff.
We don't know exactly where we want to move to. New York home prices are insane sometimes, like seriously insane! Then there's the commute to our jobs. We work in opposite directions, so we need to find a happy middle. Of course that happy middle is where the expensive houses are and we don't work near train stations to make it easier. But we're hopeful! Mahopac is look really nice right now.
Thankfully Rob and I have similar taste when it comes to a house and that we're not picky. Just as long as it's at least 2 bed, good storage (basement or shed), nice natural lighting and most importantly and good yard. We've found a couple places online already that look great, I really hope some of those will still be there when we start looking.
We're pretty excited about this and sometimes it's all we talk about, so I thought I'd share it on the blog. I don't know about you, but can't wait to start blogging the whole experience and then blog about us decorating and all that jazz, because I love reading other people's blogs like that.
