Patience my little grasshopper

June 29th, 2008 at 05:52 pm

Tomorrow is the day I am scheduled to fly to Savannah to meet with wedding coordinators and meet with a realtor to look at some houses.

I am leaving poor baseball boy with his job security low right now (team is releasing players left and right while they are on a major losing streak), there are still no tires on my jeep, and other teams have been calling Baseball boy to play for them in other states and Canada. So it is chaos here. All I can do is leave my belongings packed up so that if Baseball boy must leave while I am gone I can find a way to get wheels on the jeep and go meet him wherever he is.
In the meantime I am excited to finally see in person the houses I have been researching online.

But now is just not the right time to buy in my desired Georgian city. The housing bubble seems to have burst down there, but the sellers have not aknowledged it yet. A majority of the houses that caught my eye when I initially started online looking 6 months ago are still listed for sale, with no price drop.

Comparing housing listing prices vs the price the home was purchased for a few years ago, sellers are still asking high margins of profit. Some homes are asking 50-75k over the initial price!

So I will look, and learn, and listen, but my checkbook will remain dusty. Oh well. Probably good with everything else so crazy lately.

    Girl, look at your second paragraph and I quote, "...baseball boy with his job security low right now.....still no tires on my jeep....it is chaos here...." Please see that the very next words are "All I can do...." Your SO may not be living in the same town when you return, but you've packed up your stuff ahead of time, so you can join him (wherever he may be), but FIRST, you're going on a "money-bender", planning an expensive wedding, and looking at homes-to-buy! Consider this: Is this really ALL you can do? If you're gonna be his SO/support system/cheerleader/wife, you might consider putting aside the money-hemorrhage to help him through this low-blow to his self-esteem/career plans. IF y'all are a TEAM, then now's the time to set aside your pursuits to support the TEAM! You're still betting on this horse, right?
