We found a townhouse community downtown, on the river that we both agree on so I'm hoping after this next year (his office will be moving NEXT Dec.) we'll go ahead and buy. We do both agree we want to be downtown but I haven't liked ANY of the condos we've seen.Mary Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07801947879882584734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-19729453734831908272007-12-07T22:15:00.000-05:002007-12-07T22:15:00.000-05:00it's both i'd say bonnie...have funi watch 'house ...it's both i'd say bonnie...have fun<BR/><BR/>i watch 'house hunter' all the time and it's interesting to see what goes for what in different parts of the country...<BR/><BR/>cityquilter gracecityquilter gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769584628450845408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-38890411839795883942007-12-07T20:54:00.000-05:002007-12-07T20:54:00.000-05:00Good luck with this gigantic project - take it eas...Good luck with this gigantic project - take it easy on yourself, and I wish you good vibes between you and a non-stressful trip.

In order to keep it all organized found myself taking photos of the street sign, if I could get it on the way if not no big deal... but defintely of the exterior first with house number then you will knwo what you are seeing is for that house. <BR/><BR/>Of course we only had a 3 day paid trip to find THE HOUSE and we worked with two realators who both showed us over 50 homes each.<BR/><BR/>Gotta love digital b/c it got overwhelming but havign the camera to take 100's of photos with really HELPED! Don't forget the battery charger too! ;) <BR/><BR/>Have a fun and happy weekend and good luck house hunting! ~Bonniebingo~bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591187786013490106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-51372177699514579712007-12-07T12:10:00.000-05:002007-12-07T12:10:00.000-05:00We have used a camera the last two times we've mov...We have used a camera the last two times we've moved - helps to fill in the gaps left by the MLS printouts.

I think men and women, generally speaking, look at housing differently-- for women it's an emotional investment and for men it's a financial one. This can be completely frustrating at times, too; when that middle ground becomes so narrow! Arrgghh... I hope you find the balance you're looking for.Mrs. Goodneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453388163219666450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71286551790323885182007-12-07T11:26:00.000-05:002007-12-07T11:26:00.000-05:00Lots of luck on your house shopping.
