Searching for Kirkhaven

Jim and I have been looking for a new home. Well, really we've been house hunting for the past three years, but it's for real this time.

Last Saturday we toured half a dozen homes with our buyer's agent. My takeaway:
   • There are some very, very nice homes for sale in Lincoln; and
   •  They go very, very quickly.

No joke. If a house is on the market here for two days, that's unusual. So there's quite a bit of pressure to make quick decisions.

Thus far, neither Jim nor I have been captivated enough by anything within our price range to make an offer. (Outside of it, though, there are some pretty drool-worthy places ...)

I told Jim it's too bad it's not a seller's market in Wisner, too, since our house hasn't budged since listing it in August. Ten months, people. I grew and birthed an entire PERSON in less than that time.

Oh well. Everything happens in its own time, and it seems God isn't done teaching me patience just yet.

In the meantime, we drive the girls around after work to look at neighborhoods and houses. After they're in bed, we scour the Internet for new listings. We've conducted our business with the bank and have everything lined up, so when we find "The One," we can make an offer quickly.



All things being equal, I have no room for complaint. Still ... I'll be very glad when our house hunt is over and we can settle into our new home.
