I'm not moving yet, but my husband and I have been looking to buy our first home for four years. The pandemic has made it very hard to buy in this market. But it's a bittersweet thing. I lived in my parents house up until I got married. We lived in our first apartment for one year before moving into our second. We've been here for six years. It's the second longest home I've had and I know it will be hard to leave it. I understand your emotional struggle. All will be well, Rosalynn. You'll make beautiful memories in your new house. And, after all, "home" is really the people you're with. Not the walls around you.
Thank you, Julia! I’m sure you’re right on all counts, and I feel your housing struggle, too. When we were buying our first place, we must have looked at dozens of houses before we found one we could (barely) afford. And that was almost 20 years ago! It was hard to be a “first-timer” back then but nothing like it is now. I hope the stars align for you soon :)
Good luck with the move!
Thanks :)
