Houses

We'd like to move into a larger house closer to work. Perhaps another bedroom or so, but that's a lot of work. For the most part, we're interested in doing this, but the real estate market in my area is ballooning and I wish I had bought a few years ago. I'd like 4-5 bedrooms, and a smaller yard. My dog can poop in a smaller yard, and I can see it. The damn landscapers finally fixed my sprinklers, and I will never call them again. Next time I will use someone else. Err... I know I cannot find a house for under a quarter of a million dollars... and that's for a smaller house. I don't really care if it's a cookie cutter anymore; I am more interested in location and storage. I'd like to live in the community in which I work. I hope to get out and get in sooner than later. Perhaps we will. I am better off in that than I was perhaps four years ago.
