5th times a charm? Yeah it’s still Friday ….
In my small world, I’ve lost another bid and submitted another bid. Low balled it this time on a house that quite honestly - I don’t really care for - looks solid (3 bedrooms 2 baths) in a decent neighborhood. Hardwood floors in the bedrooms but some yahoo tiled up the kitchen, small living room and hallway with this horrible giant white tiles so it looks like a bathroom.
WTF?
There’s no accounting for taste.
But I did offer 250,000 - price 233,000. The agent and his wife said, ‘Well Annie, how much you wanna bet this is the one you’ll get? It always happens that way.’
Well whatever, as long as it’s in good shape (inspection) - I’ll be in love with the bargain and redo the floors. At least it’s cheap and it’s mine.
Life is about compromise.
Yeah, keep your fantasies about fantastic school districts, stainless steel appliances and french doors leading out to that green expansive back yard with fruit trees but realize that the reality is that your first home won’t be your dream home. At least you’ll be moving forward with your life to create your own family and after all - isn’t that a sweet reality?
Ok, gotta go step on the scale - deep breath in: 203.5
Where is that fanfare?
1 pound down.
At least it’s not 1 pound up right?
Yep, that’s right. Just look on the sunny side of the street.
Guess my natural ‘mood enhancer’ could be more mood enhancing.
