Househunting Sucks
Did you know Webbie Groves is filled with houses that look reasonable but then have the master bedroom on the basement or off the kitchen? Or the Brady Bunch green tile upstairs bathroom that you can't stand up all the way in for fear of poking your head through the 6o degree pitched ceiling? Or rotting wood peeking out underneath the "new siding" it looks like someone added with their arts and crafts staple gun last week? Or is located next to major construction? Or appears to have a chicken coop next door?
In other words...there is something wrong with every one of them. At least in our price range.
If there's not, you can bet it's on the wrong side of the tracks. Or adjacent to the tracks - and both trains come through every ten minutes. Making the earthquake look like a heavy door slamming.
Now that we've sold our house - oh, did I not mention, we've sold our house and have 7 more days to find one to make the deal happen? Yes. Yes yes. So, now that we've sold our house - its as though realtors throughout 63119 have gone on strike. NOTHING in our price range is even popping UP the last few days.
"This is a good problem to have" will be my mantra.
"$&"%*'ing house better come up soon" will be my reality.

holy crap! That was fast!!
Yeah, when we were looking in WG and kirkwood, we couldn't find anything decent in our price range, which sucks because in your case, you want to upgrade to something bigger and nicer (though your current house is great...you know what i mean).
Good luck. I can't imagine the stress.
Wow, that was fast Aim! Something will work out. It always does. Although I can imagine the stress! I suppose it would be worse if you found something you LOVED and couldn't sell the one you have.
That's great that you sold yours...now the rest will fall into place. Trust me :)
ok, need an update. have you bought a house yet? time to write a new blog....love you!
