Today we are reviewing the first draft of our house plans with the designer we selected. He finished the plans based on the house we found on the Internet. We have a few modifications and a few questions, but I think we're pretty close.
It's really hard to visualize what the house will look like by looking at these stick drawings. I hope we do OK, this is the house we are going to live in for a long, long time. I really can't picture us wanting to move unless something really drastic happens.
We are also thinking about selling our house and when will be the best time to put it on the market. We'll really want to time things just right so that we're not sitting on both houses for too long after the construction is complete. We also don't want to put it on too early in case it sells quicker than we thought and then we'll have to figure out where we'll live temporarily until our new house is done.
Our neighbor told us that houses in our price range have a 12-18 month inventory. Yikes. That means we should think about putting the house in the market now. I really can't think of anything more unpleasant than getting this house ready to sell. We need to paint, replace all the carpet, get the yard in ship-shape form. Ugh, lots of work and at the same time living with 2 toddlers and a baby. They are really hard on things. Oh well, I know we'll figure it out. We'll have to take things a day at a time.
