Can we make this work? Haverford Ave House Revisited....

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Tue, 06 May 2008 23:16:38 -0400

Ever since we saw this house (#4) I feel more and more like we can overcome the things we didn't like and really make it our home. My initial concerns were the small master bedroom, tiny master bedroom closets, and needing-an-update master bath....

Realtor #3: Houses 1-4 #1 - Tudor House: Very cool looking stone tudor on a very small lot (0.14 acre) with the neighboring house practically on top of you. It was also on the corner of a very busy intersection. We knew before we even walked i...

The Househunt Disappointment continues...

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:17:05 -0400

So, we got a referal from a friend for a PA 'burb realtor. I traded phone calls with him for about a week until I reached him (including a wacky call that Adam received at 9pm on Saturday night when I was in FL - who calls at that hour?). Final...

Quick (Disappointing) House Search Update

Adam went to check out that townhouse in Ardmore on Sunday, but the Open House, which was supposed to be going on, was cancelling that morning. Lovely. Also, Adam said that the place didn't really look like the photos - so it seems there is som...

Where is the Bottom???

I never know what to make of things like this..... we're not really looking at new construction anymore, so it doesn't directly impact our house hunt... facts like this make the market even more skittish though. THEN, I read something like this...

I CAN"T LIVE IN THIS APARTMENT ANYMORE!!! I've been feeling this way for awhile.... the last time I reached my breaking point was in February and with the CFA looming and the big water conference ahead of me, we thought it best to put off any ...

To BUY or LEASE: Topic reopened....

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 17:10:14 -0400

So, with Adam's work/life straightened out, it looks like we go back to debating BUY vs. LEASE. I believe our lease is up in March.... I guess we'll start looking again early next year. With all the jack-hammering lately, I'm ready to move! Of...

Thank Goodness for Hidden Miracles....

The article below just hit the wire. Can't believe we dodged such a bullet by not buying that townhouse... just think, if the HVAC in that place had been sound, we would have bought, AT THE TIPPY TOP OF THE MARKET. None of those units have sold...

Feeling Good about our Decision

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 13:19:56 -0400

Adam & I decided about a week ago that we would forgo house hunting until next Spring. We're not happy with anything that's out there and are sick of looking. Seeing this article today gave me increased confidence in our decision..... WASHIN...

That makes our decision easy!

Adam and I saw a house last Wednesday and had been on the fence how we should proceed. The house was about 100K over what we had agreed to buy the Kimball house for. Big increase, I know. And this house had already come down about 50K from its...
