A change of heart

Jeff and I decided to buy our house about a month ago. It's in need of a lot of repairs...but we figured that we love the house and the location so much that it would be worth it. Well I've had a change of heart...and so has Jeff. Considering the current state of the economy- I don't think it would be wize to buy a home that needs so many repairs. We would never get back what we put into it. So- we started thinking about buying a smaller home. Something with 3 bedrooms...2 baths...and a full basement. We can finish the basement ourselves- and even ad a fence to the backyard for Sumo if we found a house that did not have one already. This weekend we drove around neighborhoods looking at different homes. I am pretty happy anywhere in Prairie Village.

I'd LOVE to move into a house that does not need any repairs! I love where we live right now, except for the fact that there are many, many things that need attention. Leaks, crumbling front porch, extensive landscaping, plumbing issues, water problems.... there are many things I could ad to the list. I'm sad when I think about moving again...and I really think that if our house was in better shape there would be no question about wether we wanted to buy it...of course we would! Jeff and I need to make a wise decision about what house we buy. I think we are on the right track now.
