I have been wanting to move out of my home for several years now, but the timing just never felt right.
- However, I have recently gotten a new job that pays fantastically, as well as my husband and I are expecting our first child, so now feels like a better time than ever to start looking for a home.
My husband and I have discussed what kind of home we are looking for, and we both agreed that it needs to have good schools in the area, be in a nice neighborhood, and preferably, have a community pool. Well one of the homes we found matched the criteria, and I called the real estate agent about the home. The real estate broker was knowledgeable about the home and unfortunately told me the bad news, apparently the home needed lots of home repair, as it had extensive weather damage. One of the things that needed to be replaced was the HVAC, which means I would have to get air conditioning installation. While there are many different home repair services in my area, I knew that getting a new furnace installation alone would cost a lot of money, and I didn’t want to spend that much extra on a home. The agent told me that the home was actually due for annual property inspections and that the owners were likely going to perform some repairs on the home themselves, since they have been unable to sell their home for months. There are always many homes for sale, and I just figured that I would find another home.
