Look at me - two posts in a week!!
Husband and I have been looking to move for a while now. The market here where we live is a busy one. We have put an offer in on a few houses and were outbid each time.
We are pretty picky on where we want to move - location is pretty much the only thing you can't change. There is not much available in the small area that we are looking. We will take our time and wait until we find what we want. Of course, if we increased our budget by $100K, so many more houses would be available to us. However, that $100K increase is NOT in the budget. Note to self - buy a lottery ticket.
Tonight we were watching an episode of House Hunters. I like to PVR it and race through the parts that I don't like. I don't care for the part when they are talking about what they do and don't like about the house. But that is neither here nor there.
This particular episode, the couple lived in Kansas City. I was SHOCKED that the cost of the houses were so low. Really shocked. They were looking at 3500sq foot houses and their budget was $300K. The houses were HUGE - REALLY HUGE!!
Husband wanted to up and move to Kansas City right there and then!!
Rest assured family - we are not moving, but I am continually amazed at the difference in property prices in different areas all around North America.
Back to the house hunt for us!

If you moved away I would have to hunt you down, tie you up and drag you back to Canada. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not going ANYWHERE!
Hope you find your forever house soon. <3
It is frustrating when you're looking and can't find what you want.
But I agree with Kayaks, you are NOT going anywhere.
If you moved there, I would have to move there also. But TW may not like that.
Keep smilin!
Ditto, ditto, ditto above. You could move to Kansas for a cheaper house but it would cost you a small fortune in air fares to come back and visit us at least every-other weekend. That's about as long as we could go without you.
(D&S....we love you but you live to far away. Hurry back!!!)
Still hoping you find your new house soon. You're allowed to move; it just has to be in walking distance (including a small marathon walk) from your current home.
No pressure. We really love you so you're not going anywhere!! :o)
It is funny that you talk about KC. I lived there for 5 years and it IS a really nice area, especially for families. The only reason I moved back to NY is to be closer to my own family. You will find the right house. Sometimes it just takes a while.
