The boys watched Nemo today and I can't get this quote from Dorie out of my head. Mr. Molly and I are pretty depressed. There are no houses on the market right now that are the right house for us. We have to be out of our house in 5 weeks and then we will be homeless. I know "it's fine" and "temporary housing is fun" and "don't rush into a decision and make a mistake" but still the whole thing is pretty depressing and stressful.
How do you strike that balance? You can't wait until you find a house you like and then put your house on the market because what if it doesn't sell. You can't put your house on the market before you've found a house you like because what if it sells too fast? The nice houses here are going into contract so quickly. It's like you need to put an offer in within 24 hours if you want a nice house. If something sits on the market for 2-3 months than something is wrong with it.
There is one super-nice house but it is in a school district that we do not want to be in. Could we send our kids to private school? Probably. Should we look into that? I guess so.
Maybe something fabulous will go on the market tomorrow in the neighborhood we want to be in, in our price range, with the floor plan that we want, the lot that we want, and the size that we want. But maybe it doesn't exist and we will be homeless forever.
Maybe we should have accepted that contract on our house so quickly with such an early close date. But if we hadn't, then our dream house could have come and went before we got another offer. Regardless, we did accept it and we have to just be patient and not freak out. Just keep swimming... just keep swimming...
